A novel wearable sensor developed in Singapore does not rely on common biofluids such as blood and sweat to continuously monitor chronic health conditions.
Instead, it uses what is called "solid-state epidermal biomarkers," including cholesterol and lactate, found on the skin. These biomarkers, according to researchers from the National University of Singapore and the Agency for Science,...
Researchers from the University of Canterbury have developed a tool that makes respiratory data more accessible for clinicians and patients.
A team of PhD students of UC Engineering developed the software called Breath-to-Breath Observed Biometrics (BOB) that provides real-time breath-to-breath data. It can also interpret this data and generate a report for GPs, supporting data-driven care. ...
Engineering and IT researchers from Monash University have combined nanotechnology and AI to create wearable technology for remote health monitoring.
They came up with an ultra-thin wearable patch that is worn on the neck to measure speech, neck movement and touch, as well as breathing and heart rates. It does this using a frequency/amplitude-based neural network called Deep Hybrid-Spectro, which...

Dozee scores 510(k) for AI contactless sensor for RPM
Indian medical device company Dozee has received the United States Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) clearance for its proprietary contactless sensor for remote patient monitoring.
The Dozee sensor sheet, which is placed under a hospital bed mattress, captures micro-vibrations from patients using Ballistocardiography. These vibrations are...
ex-Propeller Health CEO to advise Aevice Health's board
Singapore-based medtech company Aevice Health has appointed David Van Sickle, former CEO of mobile respiratory health firm Propeller Health, as its strategic board advisor.
According to a media release, Van Sickle, who has over 15 years of experience in digital health, will assist Aevice Health's team in developing a US commercialisation...
The advantages of telehealth beyond enabling physician/patient relationships to continue virtually are now driving adoption in many aspects of care provision that were critically disrupted by the pandemic – most notably preventive healthcare, remote patient monitoring and chronic disease management.
While clinicians derive great value from the flexibility and efficiencies enabled by these digital...
Remotely monitoring a COVID-19 patient's pulse oximetry level could help pinpoint signs of condition deterioration, according to a new systematic review published in the Lancet.
Researchers combed through 561 studies and narrowed down their scope of research to 13 papers based on set criteria. Authors of the Lancet paper conducted a systematic review of the studies and found that measuring a...

The profound impact of COVID-19 has changed the lives of people all over the world.
As social distancing became the new normal, new patterns of behaviour and expectations emerged between patients and physicians.
One outcome of this has been an increase in the use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology, which can allow patients to receive treatment without travelling to hospital.
For...
