Hello connections...✨ Biomedical Science: Where Technology Meets Humanity Every heartbeat, every brain signal, every breath tells a story. Behind these signals lies a fascinating world called biomedical science — a field that blends engineering, medicine, and innovation to improve the quality of human life. From AI-powered diagnostics that detect diseases earlier than ever, to prosthetics controlled by the mind, biomedical innovations are reshaping the way we understand health and healing. What was once science fiction is now everyday reality in hospitals, labs, and even in wearable devices on our wrists. The beauty of biomedical research and engineering is that it doesn’t just focus on machines or numbers — it focuses on people. Every device designed, every algorithm tested, and every sensor developed has one ultimate goal: to bring care, comfort, and hope to patients. #snsintitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have created light-powered micromotors smaller than a human hair. Built with optical metamaterials, these motors use laser light to spin, reverse, and control microscopic gears on a chip. They could eventually power cell-sized machines, enabling advances in medicine, lab-on-a-chip devices, and micro-particle manipulation. #Micromotors #Nanotech #OpticalMetamaterials #MedTech #LabOnAChip #MicroMachines #FutureTech #Innovation #UniversityOfGothenburg #ScienceNews #TechTrackr #TechNews

Today at the Xecs_Eureka Matchmaking event I was invited to share the impact of the pAvIs project. The #pAvIs #PENTA project has developed innovative electronics and intelligent sensor systems for professional healthcare diagnostic and therapy applications such as scans and vital signs monitoring. It provides a paradigm shift from today’s ‘one-size fits all’ to sensor-based systems with real-time adaptability to individual patients and the operating environment. The main results of the project are: 🔹Technologies for blanket-like devices which can detect RF, ECG signals and patient motion 🔹Adaptive power control ASICs 🔹Graphene-based DBS electrode technologies 🔹Biosensing capabilities in implantable hearing systems 🔹Non-invasive neuromodulation for sleep Innovations developed in pAvIs will offer exploitation of new applications to customers of medical imaging systems. These developments also directly support personalized medicine and home treatment, addressing the need for a more efficient healthcare system where costs are surging due to the aging population. This project is funded by 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇪🇸 🇨🇦 🇵🇹 Partners involved were Philips, Bitbrain, Cochlear, Eindhoven University of Technology, #HealthTech Connex, ICsense, INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, Instituto Superior Técnico, SiliconGate, #Snap, SystematIC Design B.V., and TransEON Inc. Penta is an Eureka Network Cluster operated by AENEAS #ECS #microelectronics #ResearchAndDevelopment #Innovation #SensorSystems

Australia has unveiled a medical breakthrough that sounds like science fiction but is rapidly becoming reality, a bionic eye that connects directly to the brain and helps blind people see again. The device works through a tiny implant placed on the brain’s visual cortex. A special camera mounted on glasses captures the world around the user and sends signals to the implant. The brain then interprets these signals as visual information, allowing patients to perceive shapes, movement, and in some cases, even recognize objects. Unlike traditional treatments that depend on partially working eyes, this technology bypasses the damaged parts of the visual system entirely. That makes it a potential solution for patients who had little to no treatment options before. Early trials are showing remarkable results. Participants who once lived in total darkness are now able to detect movement, navigate spaces, and gain a new sense of independence. Scientists believe that as the technology advances, the quality of restored vision will continue to improve. This achievement highlights the power of merging neuroscience with engineering. For millions living with blindness, the possibility of sight is no longer a distant dream—it’s a future within reach. #Science #Health #Innovation #Technology #Future #Hope
