Zense-Life Inc. reported seeking patent protection for systems and processes for manufacturing working wires for a continuous biological sensor, that reduce cost and improve accuracy and efficiency compared to current technique.
The largest strike by U.S. health care workers, in early Oct. 2022, brought increased attention to the seriousness of the staff shortage in hospitals and the urgent need to address it. Multiple reports over the last 10 years have documented the impact of alarm fatigue on nurses, in particular, and its contribution to professional burnout and ongoing staffing issues. A bit counterintuitively, more integrated, continuous monitoring of vital signs reduces alarm fatigue for medical staff attending to post-surgical patients, a study by GE Healthcare Technologies Inc. and Cleveland Clinic found.
Canary Medical Inc. is seeking patent protection for devices, systems, and methods for in vivo monitoring of the flow of a biological fluid in an anatomic structure.
In another boost to its diabetes portfolio, Medtronic plc was granted CE mark approval for its Simplera continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor. The EU greenlight for Simplera follows the U.S. FDA approval for Medronic’s Minimed 780G insulin pump system earlier in the year. Simplera is an all-in-one disposable CGM sensor which features a two-step insertion process and will help patients who must have multiple daily injections (MDI) manage their diabetes.
Researchers at Singapore’s Agency for Science Technology & Research Bioprocessing Technology Institute (also known as A*STAR BTI) saw publication of their patent application for a wearable electronic system for solid-state epidermal biomarkers (SEB) that enables in situ, continuous, multiplexed, wireless, and skin-integrated sensing of analytes such as cholesterol, lactate, and glucose.
Medwatch Technologies Inc. reported a patent for the use of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, from collection of NIR LEDs surrounding a photo diode sensitive to wavelengths in the range 400 nm to 1650 nm, to noninvasively detect blood glucose concentrations, in a multi-sensing wearable device such as a watch or patch.
Wearoptimo Pty. Ltd. saw the publication of a patent application for its method and system for analyzing measurements from a wearable patch with sensors connected to microstructures that when applied to the skin penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the viable epidermis.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) developed an aero-elastic pressure sensor to be applied to minimally invasive surgeries, aiming to address issues caused by existing pressure sensors.
Researchers from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology have developed an electrotechnical patch, printed on a wearable substrate, capable of detecting dopamine and glucose levels in real-time. They published their work in Analytica.
Art Medical Ltd. released data from a study which demonstrated that its Smart+ Platform can maximize feeding efficiency and improve patient outcomes by reducing both ICU length of stay and the length of time on a ventilation by approximately three days. ICU complications related to nutrition pose significant challenges in critical care.
