Skin scanner and AI used to ‘score’ disease severity in diabetics

Researchers have used a high-resolution, non-invasive technique to obtain images of the tiny blood vessels under the skin of diabetics and used an AI algorithm to formulate a ‘score’ that can be used to determine disease severity. Once it’s made portab… Continue reading Skin scanner and AI used to ‘score’ disease severity in diabetics

MIT’s wearable ultrasound patch measures bladder fullness without gel

Researchers at MIT have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image organs as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. While they used it to measure bladder fullness, the device could also be adapted… Continue reading MIT’s wearable ultrasound patch measures bladder fullness without gel

Total-body imaging captures immune system’s response to viral infection

Researchers have used a method of total-body imaging to measure and track the body’s immune response to viral infection. The method is a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater detail and could be used to evaluate cancer treatments an… Continue reading Total-body imaging captures immune system’s response to viral infection

Showing patients their plaque pics pushes them to address heart risks

Researchers have found that showing patients images of the plaque buildup in their arteries not only educates them but also provides motivation to address the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & We… Continue reading Showing patients their plaque pics pushes them to address heart risks
