Supercharged ordinary clinical device gets a better look at the back of the eye

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have leveraged artificial intelligence to transform a device designed to see tissues in the back of the eye into one sharp enough to make out individual cells. The technique provides imaging resolution that rivals the most advanced devices available and is cheaper, faster, and doesn’t require specialized equipment or expertise. The strategy has implications for early detection of disease and for the monitoring of treatment response by making what was once invisible now visible.

Smart radar device warns of serious heart issues

Dr. George Shaker has huge hopes for a small radar device he developed with a team of researchers at the University of Waterloo. An engineer who has pursued the possibilities of radio waves for more than 20 years, Shaker envisions the installation of the silent, unobtrusive system almost everywhere people sit to help detect heart problems before they become life-threatening.

Non-invasive sensor measures intracranial pressure more accurately, aiding early intervention

A technology developed by the Brazilian company brain4care has been shown to be able to measure absolute values of intracranial pressure (ICP) more accurately than existing non-invasive methods. This is the result of a study published in the journal npj Digital Medicine by researchers from the University of São Paulo in Brazil, the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Emory University in the United States, and the company itself.
