Mobile Cancer Screening Device
The corporation, MobileODT has designed a battery-powered, hand-held colposcope (Mobile Cancer Screening Device) called the EVA System, which can take high-quality images of the cervix.
MobileODT worked with the National Cancer Institute to develop a machine learning algorithm, called automatic visual evaluation (AVE), that can produce an accurate diagnosis in minutes.
A prospective, multi center pilot study that scientists conducted in Korea showed that the device is more than 90 percent accurate.

Innovative Wearable Technology
The company Medical Wearable Solutions has created a new product: EyeForcer, a smart eye-wear that can monitor posture.
The EyeForcer uses smart technology to help reduce neck pain damage that can occur as people look down at their devices. It uses sensor technology to measure the angle at which users are looking at handheld electronic devices. If a user is in a damaging position, a small LED light on the side of the frame will be activated and won’t

Researchers at Stanford University recently developed a wireless, battery-free, biodegradable blood flow sensor that will make it easier for doctors to monitor the success of blood vessel surgery. The sensor monitors the flow of blood through an artery and can warn a patient’s doctor if there is a blockage. Because it is biodegradable, battery-free and wireless; it does not need to be removed.
“Measurement of blood flow is critical in many medical specialties, so a wireless biodegradable sensor could

Innovative Wearable Technology
Recently, an international team of researchers has developed a skin patch for monitoring a person’s biometrics.
The device is a waterproof, epidermal, microfluidic, and electronic-enabled for sweat monitoring. This patch captures sweat (from the sweat glands of the subject) in tiny chambers which serve as individual miniature test labs. Each chamber tests for different qualities such as fluid levels, sweat loss and chloride concentrations.
This new device does not require batteries – it draws power from radio waves in the
