TAGGED WITH rehabilitation
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.
The affordable wearable measures foot pressure and could improve stroke and Parkinson's therapy.
In this episode, we cover Harvard's soft wearable robot that learns a patient's intent and provides just-enough support, helping stroke and ALS patients regain independence in everyday tasks.
TAGGED WITH prosthetic

If you talk to the co-founders of Campus startup Autoscriber, they will tell you the biggest revolution in healthcare will be data-driven. “The moment you talk to your doctor and say, ‘I have a headache,’ artificial intelligence will start to mine your whole medical history. It will compare it to other people with your genetic background to calculate what is the most likely diagnosis,” said Koen Bonenkamp, one of two Autoscriber co-founders. This is the company’s vision behind its software.

A dive into how AI is helping overcome limitations with current prosthetics by offering improved signal decoding, functionality and more intuitive control.
The hybrid “eBiobots” are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle and microelectronics, said researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University and collaborating institutions. They described their centimeter-scale biological machines in the journal Science Robotics.
Choosing a material for new Medical Device Development can have a major influence throughout your medical device life cycle, from design, prototyping, testing, regulatory approvals, and mass production to commercialization and even disposal. Every material has certain characteristics, which should be in consistent with the properties of the medical device as well as final applications.
