A new algorithm can effectively detect patients with a dangerous heart dysfunction using ECG data gathered by an Apple Watch. A large trial is now currently underway looking to test the clinical utility of the algorithm in one million people.
-
Engineers have optimized a novel technology that uses temporary tattoo electrodes to record EEG brain activity. The technology is cheap, can be produced using an inkjet printer, and delivers EEG measurements as accurately as traditional electrodes.
-
An abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation is one of the leading causes of strokes, yet it's often symptomless, so it frequently goes undetected. An experimental new necklace, however, could make checking for it a quick and simple process.
-
The dream of a non-invasive device to continually monitor blood glucose levels has never become reality. The latest prospective technique, from the University of Warwick, uses artificial intelligence to detect low blood glucose from simple ECG data.
-
A new AI diagnostic method, using a neural network, can accurately identify congestive heart failure instantly by checking ECG data from just one heartbeat.
-
We've already heard about so-called "electronic tattoos," which are a more comfortable and longer-wearing alternative to the rigid electrodes traditionally used to monitor cardiac patients' hearts. A new one is claimed to be more accurate than others, however, as it tracks heart health in two ways.

How much better could drones be if you got rid of fiddly hand controllers and flew them with your mind? That's the question EEGSmart asks with this quad, which responds to brainwaves and head movements instead of thumbsticks. It's not perfect, but it gives a glimpse of a mind-controlled future.
-
Applying AI to ECG results may help doctors quickly identify patients at risk of heart failure. In a new study, an AI system was able to use ECG data to detect the presence of left ventricular dysfunction, a condition currently only detectable using more expensive and time-consuming imaging tests.
-
A newly developed smartphone app has shown promise for determining if a person is suffering from a serious heart attack. A study into the app's accuracy revealed it was almost as effective as a traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) at identifying a serious form of heart attack.

It would be an understatement to say that a lot of people suffer from too much stress. Unfortunately, though, it can sometimes be difficult to determine just what the causes of that stress are. VivaLNK's new Vital Scout is designed to help you find out.
-
If doctors want to check someone's heart rhythm while that person is out and about, the patient is required to wear a Holter monitor. Now, however, UK scientists have developed what they claim is a cheaper, more comfortable and faster-performing alternative, in the form of the Heartsense monitor.

A miniature, pliable, wearable acoustic sensor that captures physiological waves generated in the human body, has been developed. The device allows human health monitoring and the wearer to control remote devices with spoken words.
