In recent years, smell detection of diseases has attracted growing attention in the field of medical research: from dogs (and even bees) trained to sniff out Covid-19 to human “super sniffers” able to detect neurodegenerative diseases in other people. Now, a group of scientists … [Read more...] about Scientists develop e-nose that can detect Parkinson’s disease

This bandage quickly identifies the severity of a burn
We recently wrote about a bandage design that indicates potential infection. Now, there’s another smart bandage design in the works. This one, literally called SMART, aims to help first responders evaluate and treat severe burns more effectively. Designed by U.S. Army and … [Read more...] about This bandage quickly identifies the severity of a burn
Mobile skin scanner could help keep astronauts safe and sound
A team of engineers at Louisiana State University has developed a portable device that could help non-specialists to autonomously diagnose skin lesions. The device, which looks somewhat like a handheld supermarket scanner, will not only help pediatric patients but also have the … [Read more...] about Mobile skin scanner could help keep astronauts safe and sound
Deep computer model detects Lyme disease through images of rashes
Each year, there are more than 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease in the United States. Treatments for Lyme disease can be effective, but it depends on how early the disease is detected. To develop a quick, easy way to detect Lyme disease, scientists have developed deep learning … [Read more...] about Deep computer model detects Lyme disease through images of rashes
AI helps diagnose signs of glaucoma 18 months earlier than current methods
From kidney stones to heart trouble, to cancer, artificial intelligence stands to revolutionize the field of medical diagnostics by spotting signs of disease earlier than us humans are capable of. Now, aided by the technology, scientists have developed a quick test to identify … [Read more...] about AI helps diagnose signs of glaucoma 18 months earlier than current methods
