Haptic device manufacturer Quanser Consulting Inc., for example, produces […]
It started out with a simple question one day during Dr. Rajiv Gupta’s residency at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH): Why, with CT scanners routinely achieving sub-millimeter resolutions, was he still performing manual needle biopsies with only centimeters of accuracy? There had to be a better way. A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) […]
There was a time telemedicine meant holding a heart-rate monitor up to the phone receiver to play an audible signal. Modern telepresence robots like the RP-Vita from InTouch Health do more than put a patient’s diagnostic information in the hands of an offsite doctor, they create a virtual presence that allows physician and patient alike […]
The human body can be as much as 85% water. Small wonder, then, that one of the first lines of treatment for trauma patients like wounded soldiers is controlled fluid replacement, often at high volumes. The problem is that conventional infusion pumps are typically designed to deliver small amounts of fluids at high accuracies—100 mL […]
