Many diagnostic tests still rely on large optical instruments that sit in centralized laboratories, making it difficult for patients to access rapid, convenient sampling. These systems depend on external lasers, bulky optics, and controlled environments, which limits their use outside […]
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a low cost, battery or solar powered autonomous microscope called “Octopi” that uses artificial intelligence to diagnose malaria in blood smears with far greater speed and efficiency than manual microscopy. Malaria diagnosis traditionally requires

MIT researchers have unveiled a new technology that could spare millions of diabetes patients from the discomfort of frequent finger pricks. The team has created a shoebox‑sized device that uses Raman spectroscopy, a technique that shines near‑infrared light onto the skin
Noninvasive Imaging Could Replace Finger Pricks for Diabetes Read More »
A new proof-of-concept surgical tool developed at UCT Prague could one day allow surgeons to analyze tissue biochemistry in real time. Researchers from the Sofer Group have created a prototype scalpel with an integrated electrochemical sensor, fabricated using 3D printing
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
Ultrasound Probe Captures Real-Time 4D Imaging of Entire Organs for Vascular Diagnostics Read More »
Researchers at the Pennsylvania State University have developed a novel breath-based sensor that could make diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes faster, cheaper, and more accessible—without the need for blood tests or lab visits. Led by Professor Huanyu “Larry” Cheng from the
Breath Sensor Detects Diabetes in Minutes—No Blood Test Needed Read More »
A team of Korean researchers has developed the world’s first wireless contact lens-based retinal diagnostic platform using ultrathin organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This breakthrough could revolutionize electroretinography (ERG)—a key method for assessing retinal function—by replacing bulky, stationary equipment with a
Wireless OLED Contact Lens Enables On-Eye Retinal Diagnostics Read More »
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have uncovered a hidden flaw in the way blood pressure is commonly measured—one that could be causing millions of people to go undiagnosed for hypertension. Their study, published in PNAS Nexus, reveals that the standard
