Researchers at Virginia Tech's Department of Biological Systems Engineering have created a penny-sized smart patch designed to automatically detect and respond to fentanyl overdoses, potentially saving lives even when no one else is present to help.
Dr. Pijuan Yu and colleagues at Texas A&M's School of Engineering Medicine in Houston are working on prototype haptic display technology designed to enable tactile feedback for distance medicine applications.
Scientists at the University have created a new human tissue model that tracks how glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, infiltrates surrounding brain tissue. The research aims to address the challenge of tumor recurrence after surgery, when remaining cells cause the cancer to return.
Penn State engineers have created temporary smart tattoos capable of monitoring brain waves and detecting heart attacks, while UC San Diego researchers developed a smart ring that tracks four biomarkers in sweat simultaneously, representing advances in real-time health monitoring technology.
