An interdisciplinary team of researchers from various Chinese universities have developed a miniature-sized continuous glucose monitoring system that works as effectively as market-leading systems.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
The CGM sensor is made of an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), which better amplifies signal-to-noise ratio than conventional sensors.
It also features a minimally invasive...
Huawei has announced the launch of its new health monitoring system for its wearable products.
In an event in China, the Chinese IT giant said that the TruSense system offers "comprehensive and accurate" monitoring capabilities, measuring over 60 health and fitness indicators.
It runs on a proprietary algorithm that can assess these indicators, including emotional well-being and stress levels...
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,...
At Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event this morning in Paris, the tech giant announced its new AI-powered offerings, including the new Galaxy Ring designed to collect wearers' health data 24/7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra with new BioActive Sensors.
It also announced its Galaxy AI-powered Energy Score via Samsung Health, which provides personalized insight into the body's functions and whether...
Georgia-based KORE, an internet of things (IoT) company focused on helping organizations manage and scale their offerings, and Australian company mCare Digital, which uses technology to help individuals live independently, announced the launch of a smartwatch for virtual patient monitoring called mCareWatch 241.
The watch features an SOS setting that enables wearers to obtain emergency...
Neural and psychological AI company NeuroBrave has partnered with Sourasky Medical Center’s Functional Neurology Unit in Tel Aviv, Israel, to accelerate research into complex neurological conditions.
The collaboration seeks to utilize AI for real-time translation of thoughts and intentions, which will allow completely paralyzed patients to effectively communicate with others and operate...
Scottish sensor technology startup Novosound secured a patent for its ultrasound instrumentation system, the Slanj digital platform, which is targeted at the medical and wearable-device market.
Novosound produces a wearable, WiFi-enabled ultrasound device that uses gel-free, high-resolution sensors to solve issues associated with traditional ultrasound technology.
The patent gives Novosound...
A medtech spin off from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has raised $5 million in a recent Series A funding round by Event Horizon Technologies, a member of the Nadathur Group from India.
SynPhNe (Synergistic Physio-Neuro Platform) claims to be the world's first connected wearable solution that trains both brain and muscle simultaneously in one system, supporting the rehabilitation...
Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai, together with Oita University in Japan, has built what could be the world's first AI model that uses data from wearable devices to predict Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia.
Their research team embarked on a study to create a cost-effective, practical tool to pre-screen people suspected of developing the disease. Their findings were...
Monitoring athletic performance is certainly nothing new. Advanced technologies in wearable sensors to monitor and evaluate physiological biomarkers offer increased opportunities to collect and quantify data without direct proximity to the athlete.
To better optimize workouts and evaluate the full performance, it’s necessary to get detailed cardiovascular and biomechanical insight into how the...
