To bring light’s benefits to these harder-to-access cancers, engineers and scientists at the University of Notre Dame have devised a wireless LED device that can be implanted. This device, when combined with a light-sensitive dye, not only destroys cancer cells, but also mobilizes the immune system’s cancer-targeting response.

Roche has announced that it has received the CE Mark for its Accu-Chek SmartGuide continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) solution. This significant milestone paves the way for the solution to be made available to people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over the age of 18 on flexible insulin therapy.

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a band-aid or plaster that measures body biomarkers that can indicate health or disease through sweat, paving the way for a new non-invasive and effective way for patients to monitor their health.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have pioneered a state-of-the-art wearable device capable of precisely and continuously measuring trace perspiration amounts. This innovative device is adept at monitoring perspiration levels during not only physical activity but also rest. Its potential applications extend beyond monitoring dehydration caused by exercise or heat exposure, encompassing broader domains such as daily health management and disease detection.
