A smart dressing monitors wound conditions continuously

Healthcare, Medicine /

Wound healing does not always progress as expected and can sometimes develop into a serious complication. This issue often affects those with impaired recovery, such as people with diabetes, older adults, and surgery or burn patients. To tackle it, researchers at Pennsylvania State University developed a smart bandage that monitors wound conditions in real time.

Pneumatic Exoskeleton Enables Overhead and Forward Arm Support

Robotics, Tech /

Prolonged work in fixed postures often fatigues muscles and causes musculoskeletal disorders because muscles do not handle sustained contractions well, even at low intensity. Gravity exerts maximum torque on the shoulder and elbow when the upper and lower arms extend forward horizontally, as in repetitive tasks like drilling. Exoskeletons for Musculoskeletal Relief Despite increasing automation,

Research advances toward smart sensors in knee replacements

Healthcare, Medicine /

Imagine having a knee replacement and being able to point your phone at it to open an app that shows the level of stress on the artificial joint. Understanding which activities place the most strain—potentially leading to a second surgery—would be extremely valuable. Research led by Binghamton University is bringing this technology closer to reality.

A smart sensor detects fatigue and stress from body signals in real time

Healthcare, Tech /

Roughly one in three workers in Singapore report burnout—among the highest rates worldwide. Burnout and chronic fatigue impose significant economic burdens and create serious risks in jobs that require constant alertness. However, current methods for diagnosing fatigue and related mental health issues rely mainly on self-reported questionnaires, which are subjective, sporadic, and not well suited

Air-driven artificial muscles may let robots lift up to 100× their weight

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at Arizona State University are creating bio-inspired robotic “muscles” that could let robots function in extreme conditions—like boiling water and rough surfaces—overcome obstacles that stop traditional motor-driven machines, and still lift up to 100 times their own weight. These next-generation robots are expected to be lighter, more compact, and free from direct power connections.

Study uncovers reasons why certain cancer treatments fail in some patients

Healthcare, Medicine /

Drugs that inhibit enzymes called tyrosine kinases are among the most effective targeted cancer treatments. Yet, they only benefit about 40 to 80 percent of the patients expected to respond. MIT researchers found that many tumors keep growing by activating an alternative survival pathway, even when drugs block the main pathway. “The cells seem to

Exploding Head Syndrome may occur as you fall asleep, an expert explains

Healthcare, Medicine /

Have you ever dozed off and suddenly “heard” a loud noise inside your head? You wake with a start, heart racing, sitting upright, only to find the room completely quiet. Nothing actually happened, yet it felt incredibly real. People call this phenomenon Exploding Head Syndrome. Despite its alarming name, it isn’t harmful, painful, or a

Scientists engineer a kidney that can match any blood type

Healthcare, Medicine /

After ten years of research, scientists are nearing a breakthrough in transplanting kidneys between donors and recipients with different blood types. If this method proves effective, it could dramatically shorten waiting times and potentially save many lives. Type O kidney patients are usually limited to type O donors, creating high demand as over half of
