Tremor Reduction
Device (GyroGlove)
This is a GyroGear, a wearable technology firm that can assist patient who live with tremors which is an unintentional, rhythmic muscle movement involving to-and-fro movements (oscillations) of one or more parts of the body and can result from Parkinson’s disease or prescribed medications, making it difficult for patient to perform daily activities. GyroGlove uses a gyroscope in its glove design that help consumers counteract tremors without the need for individual calibration.

Tattoo-like, glucose
monitoring sensor
This is a needless glucose
monitor tattoo sensor that measures insulin levels through sweat on the skin. The patch is applied like a temporary tattoo
to measure blood sugar without the need for the pricks. It features patterned
electrodes that are printed directly on temporary tattoo paper.

Pulsewear: insomnia
aid
This is a vital sign monitoring system
that can measure resting heart rate, respiration rate and movement index. It
also has an optional ceiling mount that offers fall-from-bed detection. This
device also has an LED lamp with a button that allows users to call for help
physically, or they can use the voice activated called Alexa or gesture control
to call for assistance. The ceiling mount can call for help when a fall is
detected. The information gathered from the device can be accessed from an
accompanying app on a smartphone.

1 1. Cleft bottle
This bottle is used for babies with
cleft palate which usually need special bottles and techniques to feed well,
whether or not they have cleft lip. It is rarely possible to breast-feed or use
a regular bottle. With cleft palate, a baby cannot create suction to get milk
out of the breast or bottle. A baby who is put to the breast may look like they
are latching on and sucking well. But they are using up energy and getting
little or no milk.
2. Smartphone app detects infectious diseases
Researchers at the
University of California Santa Barbara have developed a smartphone app that can
identify bacteria from patients remotely. The new app will help doctors
diagnose diseases and prescribe antibiotics within an hour. The detection app
uses a smartphone’s camera to measure a chemical reaction and determine a
diagnosis within an hour. The test, being simple and low-cost, could be
performed in remote locations around the world. In tests, the system has shown success in achieving rapid
diagnosis of urinary tract infections. The process of the test is simple. A
small sample of patient’s urine is collected and analyzed by the smartphone all
using the smartphone’s camera and the included diagnostic kit.

Pacemaker for the
brain
Engineers at the University
of California Berkeley developed a neurostimulator that can listen to and
stimulate electric current in the brain simultaneously to deliver fine-tuned
treatments to patients who have neurological diseases like epilepsy and
Parkinson’s. The device is a
wireless, artifact-free neuromodulation device (WAND) that works like a
pacemaker in the brain by monitoring electrical activity while delivering
stimulation as needed. It is wireless and autonomous, which means it is able to
recognize the signs of a tremor or seizure and adjust stimulation to prevent
any unwanted movements.

Smart eyewear for CORRECTING
posture
This is an EyeForcer which
is a smart eyewear that can monitor posture and uses smart technology to help reduce neck pain and damage
that can occur as people look down at their devices. It uses sensor technology
to measure the angle at which users are looking at handheld electronic devices.
If a user is in a damaging position, a small LED light on the side of the frame
will be activated and won’t turn off until the user fixes their position. EyeForcer
also has an accompanying smartphone app that will alert the user of poor
posture while using the device. The eyeglasses also include blue-light
filtering lenses that can protect against blue lights emitted from screens and
can be swapped out for prescription lenses.

Pulsewear: insomnia
aid
This is a DreamOn wearable
that is designed to help people with insomnia fall asleep without medication. This device uses low-frequency pulses to
activate the body’s natural sleep process and guide users to rest. DreamOn
offers guided meditations and pulse technology to help people who have frequent
night waking, insomnia or other sleep ailments. DreamOn can sync up with the
body’s natural rhythms and help users relax to experience longer and better
quality sleep. It is easy to use, lightweight and fits on the wrist like a
watch. There is an accompanying app that offers advanced sleep tracking. The
app offers guided meditations, tailored sleep programs, a sleep tracker and
sleep insights.

9. Mobile app for autism patients
This is a Helpicto which is a mobile
application that is designed for people who have autism. Helpicto translates everyday language into
pictures. It is an easy-to-use application where artificial intelligence
recognizes image and speech to translate them into pictograms. Helpicto is able
to register and remember everyday routines like getting dressed and going to
bed. During the sequence, the first pictogram corresponds to the first stage of
the sequence, which can be read out loud through speech synthesis. The
pictogram will not change until the first step is completed.
10. Wearable Stick-On
Ultrasound Patch Can Measure Blood Pressure Deep Inside
Scientists at the University of California San Diego created a new
wearable ultrasound patch that non-invasively monitors blood pressure in
arteries deep beneath the skin such as the jugular vein and carotid artery. The
new patch could be helpful in detecting cardiovascular problems earlier. (In a proof-of-concept study, the patch
performed as well as some invasive means to measure central blood pressure. The
new patch uses ultrasound waves to continuously monitor central blood pressure in major arteries
as deep as more than an inch below the skin, reports UC San Diego News).
When worn on the neck, the device records
central blood pressure in the carotid artery, internal jugular vein and
external jugular vein
