We’re always looking for interesting biohacks here on Hackaday, and this new research article describing a calibrated pulse oximeter for different skin tones really caught our attention. Pulse oximeters are …read more Continue reading Perfecting the Pulse Oximeter
What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and …read more Continue reading Fiber-Infused Ink Allows 3D-Printed Heart Muscle To Beat
Over the last few years, we’ve all been given a valuable lesson in both the promise and limitations of advanced molecular biology methods for clinical diagnostics. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …read more Continue reading Open-Source LAMP Instrument Aimed at Clinicians and Biohackers Alike
There are a wide variety of protein-based drugs that are used to treat various serious conditions. Insulin is perhaps the most well-known example, which is used for life-saving treatments for …read more Continue reading MIT Engineers Pioneer Cost-Effective Protein Purification For Cheaper Drugs
Interfacing biological and electrical systems has traditionally been done with metal electrodes, but something flexible can be more biocompatible. One possible option is 3D-printed bioelectric hydrogels. Electrically conductive hydrogels based …read more Continue reading Hydrogels for Bioelectronic Interfaces
Medical equipment is not generally known for being inexpensive, with various imaging systems usually weighing in at over a million dollars, and even relatively simpler pieces of technology like digital …read more Continue reading Blood Pressure Monitor for Under $1
We’ve heard a ton of stories over the years about abandoned technology — useful widgets, often cloud-based, that attracted an early and enthusiastic following, only to have the company behind …read more Continue reading Hacking Headaches: Keeping a Neurostimulator Working
Feral cats live a rough life, and programs like Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) attempt to keep their populations from exploding in a humane way. Researchers in Massachusetts have found a …read more Continue reading Spaying Cats in One Shot
Have you ever known what you wanted to say but couldn’t figure out exactly how to say it? For some individuals, that’s all the time. The gap between intention and …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: Bluetooth Spell To Speak
What do you get when you combine an ESP32-S2, a machine-learning model, some Hall effect sensors, and a grip exercise toy? [Turfptax] did just that and created LASK4. The four …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: LASK4 Watches Those Finger Wiggles
