Virtual doppelgangers could one day revolutionize medicine: Researchers are developing a digital twin, which should facilitate the development of personalized therapies.
An ultra-thin, inflatable device that uses a combination of soft robotic fabrication techniques and microfluidics can be used to treat the most severe forms of pain without the need for invasive surgery.
Digital twins enable customized medical therapies. Researchers have modeled several hundred avatars based on real people and treated them experimentally.
Point-of-care electrochemical sensors using revolutionary nanocarbon technology can rapidly test for opioid concentrations in the bloodstream.
A study showed that patients receiving messages from a chatbot used fewer opioids after fracture surgery, and their overall pain level fell, too.
Thanks to a variety of smart technologies, high-tech clothing today is capable of analyzing body functions or actively optimizing the microclimate.
Researchers have developed biodegradable microresonators that could soon be used in implants to control the release of painkillers within tissue.
Researchers are developing polymer fibers that recognize the need for therapy all by themselves and dose the active ingredients with precision and accuracy.
