Advancements in Digital Biomarkers & Medical Diagnostics

The quickly evolving capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to dramatically impact all facets of the healthcare industry for the foreseeable future. At the root of the seemingly limitless potential to improve patient care is the field of diagnostics, where advancements in medtech devices and biomarkers are propelling earlier diagnoses into more comprehensive care planning for patients and more favorable prognoses.

‘Smart Skin’ Monitors Biological Signals on Demand

Penn State researchers recently developed an adhesive sensing device that seamlessly attaches to human skin to detect and monitor the wearer’s health. The writable sensors can be removed with tape, allowing new sensors to be patterned onto the device.

Smart Implant Holds Promise for the Blind

The vision implant created in this study can be described as a thread with many electrodes placed in a row, one after the other. In the long term you would need several threads with thousands of electrodes connected to each one, and the results of this study are a key step towards such an implant.

Self-Powered Sensor Could Make MRIs More Efficient

MRI scans are commonly used to diagnose a variety of conditions, anything from liver disease to brain tumors. But, as anyone who has been through one knows, patients must remain completely still to avoid blurring the images and requiring a new scan. A prototype device described in ACS Sensors could change that. The self-powered sensor detects movement and shuts down an MRI scan in real time, improving the process for patients and technicians.
