Many medical sensors used to monitor heart and muscle activity can feel stiff, uncomfortable or difficult to keep attached to the skin, especially when patients move or sweat. Engineers at the Pennsylvania State University have developed paintable electrodes that can

Understanding how sleep supports brain health requires tools that can capture subtle physiological changes without disrupting rest. During sleep, the glymphatic system clears metabolic waste by moving cerebrospinal fluid through channels around blood vessels and exchanging it with interstitial fluid
Many dangerous heart rhythm disorders go undetected because symptoms are intermittent, traditional monitoring is brief, and early warning signs often appear only during daily activity. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania have developed a wearable cardiac monitoring system

Soft robots often struggle to generate strong, fast movements because their flexible materials cannot store and release energy as efficiently as rigid mechanical systems. Scientists at the University of Bristol have developed a new approach that allows soft robotic structures

Continuous glucose monitoring remains difficult to maintain over long periods because most commercial sensors rely on glucose oxidase enzymes that degrade within days or weeks, forcing frequent replacements and increasing cost. Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, the
Long term molecular health monitoring has been difficult to achieve because most wearable sensors lose accuracy as their sensing surfaces degrade. University of California, Irvine researchers have developed a new bioelectronic sweat sensor that solves this problem by regenerating its
Wearable Sweat Sensor Enables Long Term Molecular Health Monitoring Without Batteries Read More »
Long term heart monitoring is essential for diagnosing cardiac conditions, yet the experience is often uncomfortable for patients. Conventional electrocardiogram electrodes rely on sticky adhesives that can irritate the skin and gels that dry out over time, degrading signal quality.
Heart disease remains one of the most difficult conditions to monitor outside a clinical setting because most diagnostic tools require patients to lie still, remove clothing, and wear specialized sensors for only a few minutes at a time. This creates
A new advance from The Jackson Laboratory introduces a painless microneedle skin patch that can monitor immune activity directly from the skin, offering an alternative to blood draws and surgical biopsies. Researchers at JAX, working with MIT, designed the bandage‑like
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a wearable microneedle‑based biosensor designed to make glucose monitoring more accurate, less invasive, and more cost‑effective for people with diabetes. The device measures glucose in interstitial fluid using tiny hollow microneedles less than
