Spinal fusion patients may soon benefit from real-time recovery tracking, thanks to a new wireless implant developed at the University of Pittsburgh. Engineers and surgeons have created a metamaterial-based device that monitors healing from inside the body, transmitting data wirelessly […]
A new approach to kidney stone treatment is gaining attention for its simplicity and effectiveness. Researchers at the University of Chicago and Duke University have developed a nanoparticle-infused saline solution that significantly improves the performance of laser lithotripsy, a common
A new ultrasound imaging system developed by researchers at Inserm’s Physics for Medicine Institute in Paris is redefining how clinicians visualize blood flow across entire organs. The probe captures four-dimensional imaging—three spatial dimensions plus time—allowing dynamic, high-resolution views of vascular

Researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed a magnetic soft robotic valve designed to restore function in organs affected by muscular dysfunction, including the esophagus, intestines, and urinary tract. This innovation offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical implants and
A team at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has introduced MagFlow, an ultraminiaturized neurovascular microcatheter designed to reach the smallest and most complex blood vessels in the human body. Unlike conventional catheters that rely on guidewires and manual
Researchers at Florida Atlantic University have demonstrated that wearable foot sensors and depth cameras can accurately measure gait in clinical settings, offering a scalable alternative to traditional electronic walkways. This breakthrough could improve how clinicians monitor mobility, detect fall risk,
