A great step forward towards total freedom, which one day not far away will allow diabetics to monitor glucose in real time with small implanted devices capable of reading body data by themselves.
Don't crucify yourself for a skipped gym day or a sin of gluttony: weight control could be more of a chemistry problem than you think.
Profusa, a company that develops biotechnology in San Francisco, has obtained funding of 7.5 million dollars from #DARPA for the development of its proprietary technology relating to a tiny implantable biosensor: it is another plus for the constantly developing Super Soldiers . Funders are aiming to develop technologies that can provide real-time monitoring. About what? Of the vital parameters of the soldiers, in order to improve the efficiency of the missions. The sensors, developed with a special… Read more
Technology for the medical field is increasingly cutting edge. And for chronic diseases such as diabetes, giant strides are being made: today we present this high-tech patch in graphene and gold, designed specifically for diabetics. As we know, diabetics must monitor their blood glucose levels daily and possibly inject a dose of insulin, and this is an operation that requires a lot of time, energy and money. A team of Korean and American researchers thought… Read more
David Sretavan, professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Francisco, studies how to repair damage to the optic nerve caused by glaucoma, a disorder that causes irreversible blindness and affects approximately 70 million individuals worldwide. Glaucoma is a disorder that arises from a complex of causes without an apparent trigger. We try to monitor its possible onset by measuring the pressure of the eyeball, but the rapid and frequent fluctuations of ... Read more
The WHO estimates the number of diabetics in the world at around 285 million (last year's data): this is almost 6% of the adult population. This translates (for type 1 diabetics and for 27% of type 2 diabetics) into the obligation to take daily insulin injections, which are uncomfortable and annoying. For some time, researchers have been trying to develop a form of insulin to be taken orally: a difficult undertaking, given that this protein is literally destroyed by ... Read more
