With the help of Google, Anne-Christine Hertz invented a prototype device called BikeAround; a device that pairs stationery bike with Google Street View to combat dementia. Based on the data gathered by Alzheimer’s Society, “there are 850,000 people with dementia and the number will rise to over […]
The new research is currently underway to utilise Nintendo’s Wii game console as the solution to help people with Parkinson disease to improve their movements and speech. Researchers will ask the participants to stand on a balance board and move a cursor to a specific target, therefore […]
Researchers at Stanford Concussion and Brain Performance Center can diagnose concussions using virtual reality (VR) device. Sounds futuristic? Not quite. For Jamshid Gahjar, MD, PhD, Director of the Center said that ‘brain injuries are still poorly understood’. By using Eye-Sync technology – a VR headset platforms that […]
Drone technology might be the solution to transport blood supplies to uncharted location during an emergency situation. Based on the study conducted by John Hopkins, ‘transport drones can safely deliver large bags of red blood cells, blood plasma, or platelets’ (Tantibanchachai, 2017). In addition, the study might […]
Holli is a Google Glass’ application helps children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to learn about social skills. Children with AHD will benefit from this technology since ‘it is a motivating learning medium’ (Williams et al., 2002) and ‘the technology provides a highly motivating medium for a […]
Apple released the iPhone X to celebrate the ten years anniversary birth of the first iPhone. The device has been part of our daily lives, and we cannot live without it. Until now, you might realise that the phone can track our heart rates and walk rates […]
Magneto Thermal Stimulation is the latest brain imaging method to conduct a remote and non-invasive method to stimulate a particular cell inside the brain that triggers activity deep inside the brain that allows the researchers to find out the impact the physiology. Despite some similar methods such as […]
Despite the popularity of wearable devices in the recent years for health monitoring process, the ultrathin films and rubber sheets might have a lack of breathability and not safe for long term use. Therefore, a group of Japanese scientists are developing a very light and thin hypo-allergic […]
Integrating biosensors to contact lenses might seems impossible but not for the research team at Oregon State University. The integration may help us to track pharmacokinetics and non-invasive glucose testing. We may be familiar with the traditional technique of glucose testing by injecting a small needle into […]
EU researchers are currently developing a prototype device called Wize Mirror to monitor heart rate, body temperature, and skin tone. The main objective of the research is to help users monitor their day-to-day activities and help to spot signs of cardio-metabolic diseases. Source: Semeoticons.eu The device will […]
