Healthcare is facing a critical workforce shortage, with AI emerging as a key tool to support clinicians by improving diagnostics, treatment planning, and efficiency without replacing human expertise.
Stanford bioengineer Mark Skylar-Scott on his “science fiction” quest to 3D print human hearts and other organs on demand, using cells from a patient’s own body.
Active high-pass filters remove unwanted low-frequency signals while preserving useful higher frequencies. This article covers first- and second-order filter design, Sallen-Key and multiple-feedback topologies, and practical applications in audio electronics, instrumentation, and signal processing.
A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema.
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand exoskeleton that helps persons after stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life.

In the modern era of sport, results are often decided by ultra-fine margins like milliseconds or millimeters. Yet even precise metrics such as speed and distance are still quite rudimentary in nature.
Let’s explore how CNC machining accelerates medical device development by delivering exceptional precision, optimizing production efficiency, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking system developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich that aids stroke patients in regaining arm and hand mobility.
Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, represents an approach to healthcare that tailors medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient.
ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin. One day, researchers want to use switches of this kind to trigger cell therapies for various metabolic diseases.
In this episode, we explore how a generative AI tool is marking a major milestone in biology and accelerating advancements in healthcare, genetics, and drug development.
Scientists at .Neurorestore (EPFL/CHUV/UNIL) have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation and enables activities like cycling and walking outdoors.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a system that helps patients learn to move their paralyzed arms and hands quickly after a stroke. This requires targeted stimulation of the muscles in the forearm and the support of an exoskeleton.
