Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU) have developed a highly personalized hand exoskeleton designed to help people regain mobility after injuries, strokes, or neurological conditions. Unlike generic rehabilitation devices, this exoskeleton is custom-built to

Researchers at Penn State have developed a flexible, skin-like sensor that can monitor both physical movement and electrical signals—internally and externally. Designed to mimic the properties of human skin, the device combines electrical and ionic conductivity, allowing it to interface
Skin-Like Biosensor Monitors Both Physical Movement and Electrical Signals in the Body Read More »
Joint health is notoriously difficult to track outside of clinical settings. Traditional methods for measuring joint torque—how much force a joint exerts—are often bulky, lab-bound, or too imprecise for real-world use. Now, researchers from the University of Oxford and University
AI-Enabled Piezoelectric Wearable Monitors Joint Torque Read More »
When it comes to studying neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, mouse models are the unsung heroes of drug development. But while we’ve gotten better at engineering mice to mimic human disease, tracking their movements—especially the subtle ones that matter most—has remained
