Eye tracking to help with surgery
In healthcare, especially in imaging and pathology, eye-tracking technology has been used. Researchers at the University Health Network have developed a gaze-tracking system designed specifically for surgical environments. This low-cost option takes gaze data from a computer and turns it into a video that can be seen on surgery monitors. Adding hardware for tracking the patient’s eyes to operating room tools could help surgeons be more precise and improve patient results.
Using machine learning to find neurodegenerative diseases earlier
Neurodegenerative diseases must be found early so that they can be treated quickly and with better results for the patient. Western University researchers have made a machine learning program that can find changes in the brain that are early signs of disease.
This algorithm analyzes brain scans to make diagnoses more accurate, lower the risk of radiation exposure, and allow early treatment approaches for diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
Getting drugs to patients through vesicles made from red blood cells
To get blood flowing again after vascular thrombosis, blood clots must be removed quickly. Imperial College London scientists have created vesicles made from red blood cells (RBCVs) that carry specific drugs for thrombolytic treatment. This new way of delivering drugs makes them more stable, better at controlling release, and more compatible with different thrombolytic drugs. There is a lot of hope that it will help treat thrombotic diseases like stroke and lung embolism.

A way for people and machines to talk to each other through breathing patterns
Human-machine interface (HMI) systems help people with severe disabilities by letting them talk to machines and direct them. Case Western Reserve University researchers have made a new kind of human-machine interface (HMI) that lets different gadgets talk to each other using breath patterns. This non-invasive, low-cost tracking technology can help people who have trouble moving around, making their lives more independent and better.
Using AI to map the microbiome onto personalized health products
The microbiome of humans is very important for our general health and wellness. The Science & Technology Facilities Council has created an AI system that can find the connection between a person’s microbiome and certain health problems. This framework speeds up the creation of personalized treatments or goods by using machine learning models. This makes it possible to make customized medicines, foods, and cosmetics.
A Multi-System Approach to Better Breast Cancer Care
Lumpectomy is a common way to treat breast cancer, but it often needs more surgeries because of problems with surgical guidance. Scientists at Queen’s University have created a cutting-edge system for surgical guidance that uses ultrasound, electromagnetic tracking, and their own software. This new method makes it easier to see where you are during lumpectomy surgery. This cuts down on the need for extra surgeries and improves patient outcomes.
