A new retina-on-a-chip platform is offering researchers a powerful tool to study retinal vein occlusion, one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Developed by a multidisciplinary team from POSTECH in Korea, the model mimics the complex vascular and neural
Science Corporation’s PRIMA system, a brain-computer interface retinal implant, has demonstrated significant success in restoring functional central vision to patients suffering from geographic atrophy (GA), a late-stage form of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The results of a multicenter clinical
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new wearable device called BlinkWise that transforms ordinary eyeglasses into smart health monitors by analyzing how people blink. Instead of relying on cameras or invasive sensors, BlinkWise uses low-power radio waves
Artificial intelligence may not be a classic “gizmo,” but it’s become an undeniable, rapidly evolving force in healthcare. From streamlining clinical workflows to flagging anomalies in imaging, algorithms are working their way into nearly every corner of medicine. The jury’s
