SUBCUTANEOUS MULTICHANNEL WIRELESS EEG FOR CHRONIC HOME USE

Subcutaneous Multi-Channel Wireless EEG For Continuous Home Monitoring Overview It is increasingly recognized that for many patients, like those with epilepsy, it can be of paramount importance to record neural activity continuously, 24/7, over weeks and months. Yet, no clinically viable system exists. Currently, the principal diagnostic method for...

Endovascular coil device for embolization of blood vessels

Endovascular coil device for embolization of blood vessels Overview Endovascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure in which a blood vessel is closed to prevent its bleeding and rupture. In practice, X-ray imaging is used to navigate a catheter to the region of interest at which an embolization material (i.e. coils, particles or glue)...

A novel optical method for accurate blood oxygenation measurements independent of skin tone and other skin contributions

Overview Blood oxygen monitors have become a common sight during the COVID-19 pandemic, as oxygen depletion in the bloodstream can be a warning sign of infection. Often placed onto a patient’s fingertip, these monitors rely on established photoplethysmography (PPG) technology which shines light on the skin and measures changes in how much of...
