New hearing screening system for newborns uses a smartphone and low-cost earbuds

Newborns across the United States are screened to check for hearing loss. This test is important because it helps families better understand their child's health, but it's often not accessible to children in other countries because the screening device is expensive.

Artificial intelligence-based method may help predict early-stage melanoma recurrence

Most deaths from melanoma - the most lethal form of skin cancer - occur in patients who were initially diagnosed with early-stage melanoma and then later experienced a recurrence that is typically not detected until it has spread or metastasized.

Smartphone code blue notification may accelerate response to in-hospital cardiac arrest

Sixty seconds can make or break the outcome of a hospital "code blue" or cardiac arrest response. New research found a hospital code response team rushing to a patient in cardiac arrest may arrive at least one minute quicker and may also lead to better patient outcomes with the use of a smartphone emergency code notification system that activates the team through text messages.

New device could help address racial disparities in hemoglobin and blood oxygen measurements

A team led by a University of Texas at Arlington bioengineering professor and an Austin businessman has published key findings in the British Medical Journal Innovations that illustrate how a new device measures hemoglobin more accurately in individuals with darker skin pigmentations.

Wireless, battery-free pacemaker could make life easier for heart disease patients

Atrial fibrillation – a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia – leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people are affected by the condition.

RNA-sensing platform could help detect and selectively kill tumors, or edit the genome in specific cells

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT have developed a system that can detect a particular RNA sequence in live cells and produce a protein of interest in response.

Game-based test that detects hearing loss in children wins European innovation medal

A game-based test that detects hearing loss in children has recently been awarded a European innovation medal. Both the test and the technology behind it have been developed by Norwegian researchers.

Hydrogel bioink can bioprint conduits that mimic the mechanics of native blood vessels

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain among the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. In patients with CVD, blood vessels-which transport blood, oxygen, and nutrients-can become constricted or obstructed, leading to numerous complications.
