On diabetic foot, wound healing, amputation prevention, and the merger of consumer tech with medical devices
Imagine a future where prosthetics are seamlessly controlled by the brain, restoring not only mobility but also a sense of wholeness to individuals who have lost limbs. A recent New Yorker article, “A Bionic Leg Controlled by the Brain” (read it here), introduces the revolutionary work of Hugh Herr, a visionary inventor and scientist, whose personal journey and cutting-edge...

Important work from our friend and colleague Wei Gao and coworkers. Here's to building the infrastructure to help measure what we manage and help move through the world a little better! Ultrasensitive multimodal physicochemical sensing for autonomous robotic decision-making has numerous applications in agriculture, security, environmental protection, and public health. Previously reported robotic sensing technologies... Continue Reading →
This via Gretchen Reynolds and the NYT. Many of the tools and technologies we've pined over (and worked on) over the years are coming to fruition in a variety of ways!
This great article from fastcompany.com predicts a time in the not too distant future that we've been talking about for years- rental wearable robots as a service. Update: For another great read on "Robots as a service" click here (or on the photo below) for a German robot suit rental program (and thanks as always... Continue Reading →
Well this is simply a cool idea. Well done to Welker and coworkers. Abstract:Objective: We aimed to develop a system for people with amputation that non-invasively restores missing control and sensory information for an ankle-foot prosthesis. Methods: In our approach, a wrist exoskeleton allows people with amputation to control and receive feedback from their prosthetic... Continue Reading →
We've long pondered when this day would arrive...well here we are! read the link below from Tech Republic. Thanks to our SALSAmigo, David Klonoff, president and founder of the Diabetes Technology Society, for sending this over!
