Digital twin for personalized medicine
As part of the “MED²ICIN” lighthouse project, seven Fraunhofer Institutes are presenting the first prototype of a digital patient model.
How 5 upper body exoskeletons support natural movements
We present five upper body exoskeletons that might help restore natural hand or limb movements.
Multiple sclerosis: Exoskeleton therapy improves mobility
Experts at Kessler Foundation led the first pilot randomized controlled trial of robotic-exoskeleton assisted exercise rehabilitation effects on mobility, cognition, and brain connectivity in people with substantial MS-related disability.
Using digital twins to help treat multiple sclerosis
Scientists in Dresden are expanding their digital health expertise in multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy and research with an ambitious scientific project - creating a "digital twin“ from data.
How to make the invisible visible
Scientists have discovered a new way to analyse microscopic cells, tissues and other transparent specimens, through the improvement of an almost 100-year-old imaging technique.
Brain-computer allows paralysed patients to text
Two ALS patients, implanted with a brain-computer interface via the jugular vein and without the need for open brain surgery, successfully controlled their personal computer through direct thought.
Wearable sensor helps ALS patients communicate
Researchers have designed a skin-like device that can measure small facial movements in patients who have lost the ability to speak.
VR for early detection of MS balance problems
The UNC School of Medicine lab of Jason Franz, PhD, created virtual reality experiments to show how a potentially portable and inexpensive test could reduce falls and related injuries in people with multiple sclerosis.
Robot-powered outfit is being fashioned to help seniors walk
A new line of wearable robotics - a lightweight version of the armor that comic hero Iron Man wears - could keep seniors on their feet longer.
From one brain scan, more information for the AI
Researchers have developed a system thar helps machine learning models glean training information for diagnosing and treating brain conditions.
Brain-computer interface creates synthetic speech
A state-of-the-art brain-machine interface created by UC San Francisco neuroscientists can generate natural-sounding synthetic speech by using brain activity to control a virtual vocal tract – an anatomically detailed computer simulation including the lips, jaw, tongue and larynx.
