Medical Engineering

The development of medical equipment, products and technical procedures is characterized by high research and development costs in a variety of fields related to the study of human medicine.

innovations-report provides informative and stimulating reports and articles on topics ranging from imaging processes, cell and tissue techniques, optical techniques, implants, orthopedic aids, clinical and medical office equipment, dialysis systems and x-ray/radiation monitoring devices to endoscopy, ultrasound, surgical techniques, and dental materials.

Dozing at the wheel?

Not with these fatigue-detecting earbuds. UC Berkeley researchers have created earpieces that identify brain activity associated with relaxation and drowsiness. Everyone gets sleepy at work from time to time, especially…

Custom implants on demand? Bandages for the heart?

3D printing method makes it possible… Scientists have developed a new way to 3D print materials strong enough to support human tissue. In the quest to develop life-like materials to…

Can targeted therapies be applied to patients with Alzheimer’s?

University of Utah researchers develop potential alpha-particle treatments that target the plaques on the brain that lead to dementia. Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating brain disorder with limited treatment options, has…

Novel technique to fabricate three-dimensional circuits for advanced electronics

CHARM3D paves the way for the efficient printing of free-standing 3D structures that offer high electrical conductivity, self-healing capabilities and recyclability — a boon for electronics in healthcare, communications and…

Safe journey into the heart

Hereon sensors facilitate minimally invasive surgery for atrial fibrillation in heart patients. Atrial fibrillation can cause dangerous blood clots to form in the heart. Many patients therefore have the part…

Artificial blood vessels could improve heart bypass outcomes

Artificial blood vessels could improve heart bypass outcomes. 3D-printed blood vessels, which closely mimic the properties of human veins, could transform the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Strong, flexible, gel-like tubes…
