Researchers have developed a new ultrasound method that can, for the first time, measure tension in human tissue, potentially revolutionizing disease diagnosis.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Ultrasound, Diagnosis, Diagnostic devices, D… Continue reading Breakthrough ultrasound method can detect tension in human tissue
Researchers in the US have developed a platform that allows wireless ingestible devices to be tracked in 3D as they travels through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which may provide a cheaper, less invasive way of investigating, diagnosing and treatin… Continue reading New system is like 3D GPS for tracking pill cams through the GI tract
A clinical trial has shown a new type of medical scan can identify specific adrenal gland nodules responsible for excess hormone secretion linked to high blood pressure. The new scan offers the first simple diagnostic tool for what is thought to be the… Continue reading New CT scan helps detect curable form of high blood pressure
As is the case with so many other things, the sooner that Alzheimer’s disease is detected, the more that can be done to slow its progress. An experimental implantable lens could help, by changing in appearance at the early stages of the illness.

Using a newly developed virtual reality game, researchers believe they have created a novel tool that can objectively diagnose attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The system tracks a user’s eye movements and has also been proposed as a way… Continue reading VR eye-tracking game proposed to objectively diagnose ADHD
New research from a team of scientists in Italy has reported successful early tests for an electronic nose system designed to sniff out prostate cancer biomarkers in urine. The technology follows on from earlier research that found trained sniffer dogs… Continue reading Electronic nose sniffs urine for traces of prostate cancer

A team of researchers in the UK has developed a fully automated artificial intelligence-enabled system that can scan retinal images for vascular health, helping identify those at high risk of heart disease and stroke.Continue ReadingCategory: Health &a… Continue reading AI-enabled eye scan delivers stroke and heart disease risk scores
Pharma giant Pfizer has shelled out nearly US$120 million to acquire a small Australian company claiming to have developed a smartphone app that can accurately diagnose COVID-19 by analyzing the sound of a cough.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & W… Continue reading Pfizer pays almost $120 million for app that detects COVID from a cough
New research points to an easily measured eye response to light as a potentially useful way of diagnosing autism in very young children. Further testing is currently underway in a large cohort of children and a simple device to screen pupil responses h… Continue reading Pupil light response proposed as biomarker to diagnose autism
