Focused ultrasound thalamotomy in Parkinson’s Disease
UVA’s Scott Sperling and Jeff Elias, who already used focused ultrasound to treat essential tremor, have just published the results of a small study showing the efficacy of the technology in Parkinson’s Disease. The sound waves were shown to interrupt brain circuits responsible for the uncontrollable shaking associated with the disease. The researchers claim that their study…

Proof of concept 3D printed cornea
Newcastle University’s Che Connon has developed proof-of-concept research that could lead to a 3D printed cornea. Stem cells from a healthy donor cornea were mixed with alginate and collagen to create a printable bio-ink. A 3D printer extruded the bio-ink in concentric circles to form the shape of a human cornea in less then 10 minutes. The…

fMRI + EEG used to detect consciousness in ICU patients
MGH’s Brian Edlow and colleagues have completed a small study showing the efficacy of using fMRI and EEG in ICU TBI patients to detect consciousness. Previous research has suggested that up to 40% of conscious patients are misclassified as unconscious. The goal is to create a more informed care plan, and earlier interventions that could improve…

Wearable, high resolution, continuous opto-electronic monitoring
MRI, disrupted. Mary Lou Jepsen’s background in consumer electronics, computers, TV, VR, wearables, healthcare and software at Google x, Facebook, and Oculus has led to the creation of Openwater — a company that will enable us to see the inner workings of the body and brain. At high resolution, continuously. Using novel opto-electronics, the company…

Robotic leg brace helps stroke patients walk
Toyota’s Welwalk WW-1000 exoskeleton is designed to help those with paralysis on one side of their body walk again. The frame is worn on the affected leg, with a motor at the knee joint that provides calibrated assistance based on a user’s ability. Wearers are trained to recover their walking ability over time. The robotic device…

Tiny wearable sensor measures blood flow
Kyocera has developed a tiny optical sensor to measure blood flow volume in subcutaneous tissue, meant to be integrated into a phone or wearable. Potential applications include monitoring stress and preventing dehydration, heat stroke, and altitude sickness. The device will be used in/on an ear, finger or forehead, to measure the velocity-driven frequency of reflected…
