AnX Robotica wins FDA nod for next-gen gastrointestinal motility capsule
The company said in a news release that the latest clearance marks a significant step forward in gastrointestinal (GI) motility monitoring. It offers clinicians an advanced, non-invasive tool for assessing whole-gut transit times with unmatched accuracy and patient comfort.

Dermalyser Earns CE Mark, Ushering in a New Era of AI-Powered Melanoma Detection
European regulatory approval paves the way for Dermalyser’s clinical rollout, enhancing early skin cancer diagnosis through advanced AI technology.

Flexible implant detects pain levels and delivers targeted electrical stimulation wirelessly
Researchers at the University of Southern California and other institutes recently developed a new flexible, wireless and battery-free implantable stimulator that could overcome some of the limitations of previously introduced pain-management solutions.

A chip with natural blood vessels: Researchers create miniature organ models in a rapid and reproducible manner
In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly important: by cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled microfluidic chips, it is possible to conduct research much more accurately than in experiments involving living humans or animals. These systems can be used to investigate the effects of a new drug and to better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response.

Rapid bedside test predicts sepsis with more than 90% accuracy
Canadian scientists have developed a blood test and portable device that can determine the onset of sepsis faster and more accurately than existing methods.

Smart sanitary pads use rapid test strips and AI app to reveal key health biomarkers
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed the first technology that is able to recognize biomarkers in menstrual blood—directly in sanitary towels. MenstruAI promises a simple, non-invasive method for recording health data in everyday life.

Novel blood purification technique eliminates antibiotic-resistant bacteria via artificial clots
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel extracorporeal blood purification technology that captures and removes bacteria from the bloodstream by leveraging sticky, clot-like surfaces. This breakthrough could pave the way for new treatments against deadly systemic infections, including sepsis, even those caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The work is published in Advanced Science.

AI can assess infant brain maturity in minutes
A team led by Sarah Lippé at Université de Montréal’s Department of Psychology has developed a method that can determine in minutes whether a baby’s brain development is advanced, delayed or in line with their chronological age.
