Why Flight Emergency Medical Kits Need A Digital Health Upgrade
A few weeks ago a doctor used an Apple Watch to aid an elderly woman who suffered a medical emergency on a flight. NHS doctor Rashid Riaz, from Hereford, borrowed the device from a flight attendant to check the patient’s oxygen levels.
“The Apple Watch helped me find out the patient had low oxygen saturation,” the medic explained. Later, he also called on all airlines to consider having emergency physician kits as standard, which would ideally include tools to take basic measurements, diabetic and blood pressure meters, and an oxygen saturation monitor.
We all know that aircraft have some medical su...

In Health Care, AI to Advance Rapidly Along With Its Regulation
This far-ranging video examines the current uses and future prospects for AI through the eyes of two experts from UST: Adnan Masood, PhD, Chief AI Architect, and Anand Nair, Head of Healthcare Payer.
Masood pointed out that there is little point to regulating research and development in AI, because the rules tend to miss the point and impose unnecessary burdens. However, regulating the application of AI is useful, and Masood would like to see more of it. Singapore has led the way with regulation, and the EU is “moving fast.”
He mentioned positively a recent AI risk management framework (RMF) from NIST as a ste...

Claims Software Can Ease Manual Processes Related to Treating Medical Tourists from Outside the U.S.
The following is a guest article by Rob Stuart, Founder and President at Claim.MD
Medical tourism is big business for leading hospitals and health centers around the world. In the United States, the overwhelming perception is that American patients seek treatment in Mexico, Turkey, Singapore, and other places to save money over what they’d pay for the same treatments. But the U.S. has been named the top worldwide medical tourism destination.
Because many people don’t proclaim themselves as medical tourists on travel documents, reliable statistics on the prevalence of medical travel are scarce. However, a 2017 survey li...

Magnetic Dressing Improves Diabetic Wound Healing
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a magneto-responsive hydrogel wound dressing that also contains two different regenerative cell types. The hydrogel is also embedded with magnetic particles that can be stimulated using an external magnetic field. The action of the magnetic field on the gel-encapsulated particles causes mechanical stresses within the gel to act on the cells, stimulating them to grow and enhancing their regenerative potential. The advanced dressing is intended to assist in healing diabetic wounds, which can be difficult to treat.
In diabetes, various issues can impair wou...

Battery Charged by Tears for Smart Contact Lenses
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a tiny, flexible battery that is intended for use in smart contact lenses. The device is as thin as the human cornea and can be charged by a saline solution, which is particularly useful in the eye, as it is full of salty tears. When the battery-equipped smart lens is not in use, such as at night, then it can be stored in a saline solution, helping to further recharge the battery. The device avoids materials that could cause damage to the eye, such as metal electrodes, and works through a glucose oxidase coating that generates current when it react...

Highly Precise Pressure Sensor for Laparoscopic or Robotic Surgical Tools
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a highly sensitive pressure sensor that can provide haptic feedback for surgeons using laparoscopic tools or for use in robotic grippers as part of robotic surgical systems. The technology is inspired by the surface of the lotus leaf, which is extremely sensitive to the pressure exerted by tiny drops of water and will repel them. This sensor is also highly sensitive, using an incorporated layer of air to detect tiny pressure changes, and a surface coating inside to reduce friction. Called “eAir”, the devices can also be highly miniaturized to just a few...

Wound Sensor Patch Indicates Healing Status
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have created a wound sensor patch that measures various wound biomarkers that can indicate would healing. Chronic wounds are an ongoing problem for many patients, and developing new ways to monitor and treat these painful lesions would be very useful. This battery-free wound patch contains five colorimetric sensors that change color in response to various wound biomarkers. These include temperature, pH, trimethylamine, uric acid, and wound moisture levels. The patch is intended to be imaged using a smartphone camera, where an AI-powered app analyses the color change to di...

Flexible Knee Wearable Tracks Motion
Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design have created a flexible knee wearable that contains integrated circuitry within its knitted structure. The wearable can track joint movement in real time, assisting clinicians in spotting the early signs of movement disorders or allowing them to track the progress of patients undergoing physical therapy to improve their movement.
The new device was designed to be as comfortable as possible, and functions as a single knitted garment, with sensors and other functional components such as resistors forming flexible circuits within the fabric.
