Brain-robot interfaces may help the brain reroute motor pathways damaged during stroke

Brain-robot interfaces - apparatuses where brain activity controls the movements of a robotic device that supports a hand or limb - show promise in rehabilitating paralyzed stroke patients.

Proof-of-concept model uses AI to combine multiple types of data to predict cancer outcomes

While it's long been understood that predicting outcomes in patients with cancer requires considering many factors, such as patient history, genes and disease pathology, clinicians struggle with integrating this information to make decisions about patient care.

Implantable mechanotherapeutic drug delivery platform helps overcome host immune response

Implantable devices that release insulin into the body hold promise as an alternative way to treat diabetes without insulin injections or cannula insertions. However, one obstacle that has prevented their use so far is that the immune system attacks them after implantation, forming a thick layer of scar tissue that blocks insulin release.

Wrist-wearable devices more cost-effective than electrocardiograms and pulse palpation for atrial fibrillation screening

Screening individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) using wearable devices is more cost-effective than screening using conventional methods such as 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse palpation, or than no screening at all, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found.

Saliva-based self-testing platform detects SARS-CoV-2 with the same level of sensitivity as PCR tests

PCR tests, also called molecular tests or nucleic acid tests, are considered the gold standard in detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that gives rise to COVID-19.

Optical coherence tomography combined with machine learning to develop colorectal cancer imaging tool

A research team from the lab of Quing Zhu, the Edwin H. Murty Professor of Engineering in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has combined optical coherence tomography (OCT) and machine learning to develop a colorectal cancer imaging tool that may one day improve the traditional endoscopy currently used by doctors.
