SeoulTech’s ‘graphene breakthrough’ could lead to ultrathin flexible displays

by

A new graphene-assisted laser lift-off method keeps ultrathin displays flawless and ready for wearable technology.

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) claim they have pioneered a graphene-based laser lift-off technique that prevents damage while separating ultrathin OLED displays.

By utilizing graphene’s ability to absorb UV light and distribute heat, they have achieved pristine, flexible displays. This advancement opens doors for ultra-thin, stretchable devices that fit comfortably against human skin, revolutionizing wearable device technology.

As the demand for thinner, lighter, and more flexible electronic devices grows, the need for advanced manufacturing processes has become critical. [Read more…] about SeoulTech’s ‘graphene breakthrough’ could lead to ultrathin flexible displays

EndoQuest Robotics applies for FDA approval for its new robotic surgery device

by

EndoQuest Robotics, a privately held medical device company and pioneer in the development of flexible endoluminal robotic technologies, has submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application for its pivotal colorectal clinical study.

EndoQuest says its mission is to “transform surgical outcomes for minimally invasive surgery” (MIS) with its groundbreaking flexible robotic system.

This IDE will enable EndoQuest to begin their Prospective Assessment of a Robotic-Assisted Device in Gastrointestinal Medicine (PARADIGM) study, which is a prospective, multi-center, open-label study. [Read more…] about EndoQuest Robotics applies for FDA approval for its new robotic surgery device

What a Healthcare Entrepreneur Needs to Consider When Entering the Market

by

A healthcare entrepreneur entering the market in 2024 is up against a lot of innovation. Becoming part of that trend is the goal, but that won’t be possible without some careful research and consideration.

You need to know what you’re getting into, how your product or service will stack up, and be aware of what a patient base will come to know you for.

Medical businesses are subject to strict regulations no matter what sector they’re in or who they serve. But beyond that, the owner of this kind of business needs to have their eye on the unsaid rules too. [Read more…] about What a Healthcare Entrepreneur Needs to Consider When Entering the Market

How Does a Laser Hair Growth Device Work: Technology Explained

by

About 85% of men and 40% of women experience hair loss by age 50. This translates to millions of people dealing with thinning hair and bald patches worldwide.

In severe cases hair loss may cause total baldness and this can be very distressing. Remember the infamous Will Smith at Chris Rock slap? Yes, that’s how “emotional” hair loss can get.

Hair loss can be caused by several factors including genetics, hormonal changes, medications, stress, radiation therapy, and poor hair management among other reasons. [Read more…] about How Does a Laser Hair Growth Device Work: Technology Explained

Carnegie Mellon scientists demonstrate head-worn assistive device for robotics

by

Researchers say they have learned a lot from in-home test of adaptive robot interface

No one could blame Carnegie Mellon University students Akhil Padmanabha and Janavi Gupta if they were a bit anxious this past August as they traveled to the Bay Area home of Henry and Jane Evans.

The students were about to live with strangers for the next seven days. On top of that, Henry, a person with quadriplegia, would spend the week putting their Head-Worn Assistive Teleoperation (HAT) — an experimental interface to control a mobile robot – to the test. (See video below.)

HAT requires fewer fine motor skills than other interfaces to help people with some form of paralysis or similar motor impairments control a mobile robot and manipulator. It allows users to control a mobile robot via head motion and speech recognition, and versions of the device have featured a hands-free microphone and head-worn sensor.

Tips for Designing Timeless User Interfaces for a Medical Device

by

User interface design trends might come and go throughout the lengthy design and development phase of a medical device. This implies that keeping up with or predicting user interface (UI) design trends may be difficult.

Furthermore, a user interface with a “dated” design is not just a possible danger to the product’s market image; it may also have ramifications for use.

An interface that does not seem up-to-date, for example, may make a user go for your competitor and choose a different product. [Read more…] about Tips for Designing Timeless User Interfaces for a Medical Device
