Urine analysis may indeed be a valuable source of information on a patient’s health, but arranging for samples to be taken and analyzed can be time-consuming. A new sensor could help, by allowing diapers to do the job on an ongoing basis.Continue Readi… Continue reading New sensor could pave the way for urine-analyzing diapers
A team of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology has demonstrated the effectiveness of a new kind of non-invasive skin cancer detection tool. Preliminary tests have found the technology to be 97 percent effective at detecting cancerous ti… Continue reading New imaging tech promises cheap, handheld skin cancer scanner
A new algorithm developed by researchers at the Mayo Clinic can effectively detect patients with a dangerous heart dysfunction using data gathered by an Apple Watch. A large trial is now underway looking to test the clinical utility of the algorithm in… Continue reading AI algorithm detects asymptomatic heart disease from Apple Watch ECG data
A prototype smartphone app has been developed to screen for the very earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The app tracks minute changes in a person’s pupil size, which previous research has shown can indicate pre-clinical neurological disease.

The first breath-based COVID-19 test has been issued an emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The device takes three minutes to return results and has been found to be over 90 percent accurate in detecting positive… Continue reading First COVID-19 breath test authorized for use in United States
Long before computers existed, the Inca people collected data and kept records using knotted strings known as quipu. That technology has inspired a new system for assessing gastrointestinal problems, which is considerably less expensive than convention… Continue reading Inca-inspired tech may offer a simpler means of checking the GI tract
As the pandemic continues, most of us have gotten used to medical consultations being performed via the phone or Zoom. That said, there are still times when diagnostic devices need to be used … which is where the H3 Health Cube is designed to come in.C… Continue reading H3 Health Cube set to enter use as a self-contained connected clinic
A new AI tool developed by researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center can accurately measure plaque deposits in coronary arteries and predict a patient’s risk of suffering a heart attack within five years. The tool needs further validation before bei… Continue reading AI algorithm accurately predicts risk of heart attack within 5 years
New research presented at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society has demonstrated how tiny roundworms can be used to detect lung cancer. A “worm-on-a-chip” device has been developed that is currently 70 percent effective at detecting cance… Continue reading Roundworms sniff out lung cancer with novel “worm-on-a-chip”
Researchers in the UK have demonstrated a new kind of ultrasound scan can diagnose prostate cancer with accuracy equal to costly and time-consuming magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings offer clinicians an easier way to quickly test patients f… Continue reading New ultrasound method as effective as MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer
