The application of engineering to medicine and biology, including medical devices, biomaterials, tissue engineering, medical imaging, biomechanics, and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies
3 papersThis paper proposes a channel model for electromagnetic wave propagation inside the human body at terahertz frequencies, focusing on potential applications for communication between in-vivo nanosensors. It considers factors like wave spreading, molecular absorption, and scattering from tissues and cells to estimate the total path loss.
This study used simulated patient data to test a wearable sensor system for early COVID-19 detection. The system uses machine learning to classify symptoms and LoRa technology for energy-efficient data transmission. A major limitation is the lack of testing on real patient data and the exclusion of asymptomatic cases.
Researchers developed a high-resolution 3D printable ink made of the conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS, enabling the creation of complex, flexible microstructures. They demonstrated its potential by 3D printing a soft neural probe capable of recording brain activity in mice and a flexible electronic circuit, showing promise for bioelectronics and flexible device applications.
