Karla Sanchez explores the rapidly evolving field of dementia care, examining both the current landscape and emerging technologies that empower patients to stay independent for longer.
Discover how healthcare innovation can bridge the nursing knowledge gap in wound, ostomy, and continence care, from the perspective of Erik Andersen, an Insights Research Associate at CDP and practicing ICU nurse.
Pace is accelerating for tackling neurodegenerative diseases. In this article, Biomedical Engineers Alejandra and Karla focus on two areas of progress: how treatments have moved on and hope for the future.
In collaboration with CDP, Titan Medical has unveiled its next-generation technology for single-access robotic-assisted surgery (RAS).
Karla explores the challenges our brains experience in space and how mathematical modelling can help us understand and overcome these.
A revolutionary gastrointestinal robotic platform – based around a Smart Pill – that can take samples from predetermined locations in the gastrointestinal tract. This technology has applications in R&D for drug delivery systems through active location analysis, diagnosis and sampling within the gastrointestinal tract and enabling gastrointestinal delivery of proteins and peptides.
In an intense disaster or battlefield scenario, correctly identifying which victim to treat first can be a matter of life or death, so we created a specialised wearable monitor. The device won the prestigious ‘Best of the Best’ Red Dot award.
We were asked to develop a new cryoablation technology in this crowded IP space. Our scientists and engineers started from first principles and were able to create a new patented system that enabled the office-based treatment of breast cancer.
Catheter ablation is widely used to treat a range of abnormal heart rhythms. It involves passing a thin, flexible catheter through the blood vessels to the heart, where it pinpoints the arrhythmia and uses ablation to block the abnormal electrical signals. A more dexterous catheter increases success rates for patients and retains greater cardiac function.
Hear us out: the pandemic has stretched world health services to their limits, but it may also be paving the way toward a greener future for healthcare.
Getting medical devices regulated to international standards is not easy. Rose explains how this process could be made much simpler.
