ELSAH – A ‘Smart Patch’ to determine biomarkers
At the start of 2019 the EU project ELSAH began with the objective of designing a wearable within four years that enables the continuous determination of biomarker concentrations.
AI test predicts eye disease years before symptoms
A new eye test may predict wet age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of severe sight loss, three years before symptoms develop.
Quantum nanodiamonds help detect disease earlier
The quantum sensing abilities of nanodiamonds can be used to improve the sensitivity of paper-based diagnostic tests, potentially allowing for earlier detection of diseases such as HIV.
Researchers successfully bioprint healthy new tissue
New muscle has successfully been created in mice using a minimally invasive technique dubbed ‘intravital 3D bioprinting’.
Lung cancer: AI could predict risk of recurrence
Computer scientists working with pathologists have trained an AI tool to determine which patients with lung cancer have a higher risk of their disease coming back after treatment.
Robotic testing platform increases coronavirus testing capacity

NVIDIA Healthcare 2.0 – Developing and deploying AI in healthcare
“AI is the biggest technological breakthrough of our lifetime. It will boost the entire healthcare ecosystem and will eventually re-invent the way we deliver medicine entirely.”
Google-powered AI spots breast cancer
A computer algorithm has been shown to be as effective as human radiologists in spotting breast cancer from x-ray images.
Virtual “moonwalk” for science
In order to orient ourselves in space, and to find our way around, we form mental maps of our surroundings. Scientists used VR to detect distortions in our spatial memory.
Promising applications of mixed realities in medicine
At ECR 2019, researchers talked about the practical applications of mixed realities in medical education and training as well as preprocedural planning and visualization during a surgery.
AI-driven platform “HRMAn” never sleeps
Researchers have developed a new AI-driven platform that can analyse how pathogens infect our cells with the precision of a trained biologist.
