RFID tracks hospital's devices
Submitted by nestorb on Sat, 2007-05-19 23:52. RFID might not yet be a life-or-death technology but System improves heart facility's care
Survey Suggests RFID Could Aid Clinical Trials
Submitted by nestorb on Sat, 2007-05-19 23:52. "The expense to pharmaceutical companies is in changing processes as much as it is in RFID equipment and tags. The single drug doses used in trials are very expensive to develop, so the cost of RFID is relatively small."
Millimeter-size cantilever biosensor can detect cells and proteins in trace samples and in minutes
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-05-16 14:15. A Drexel University engineering professor has developed a millimeter-size cantilever biosensor that can detect cells and proteins in trace samples and in only minutes
Dental Systems - RVG 6100 Digital Radiography System
Submitted by nestorb on Sun, 2007-05-13 23:37. Due to new technological advances with the optical plate and scintillator, all size sensors have increased "sensitivity," which allows a practitioner to decrease the radiation dose - up to 10% decrease for sizes 1 & 2 and 40% decrease for size 0 (depending on type and age of x-ray generator).
Apogee Technology Schedules First Quarter 2007 Earnings Conference Call

Texas Radio Frequency Center Pushes the Wireless Frontier
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-05-11 23:37. The multi-disciplinary, multi-university research program is headquartered at the University of Texas at Arlington 's College of Engineering . The Texas Center focuses on bringing emerging communication capabilities, sensing, telemetry and intelligence to objects and devices.
Genomic Test Could Help Detect Radioactivity Exposure From Terrorist Attacks
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-04-18 12:36. The new test scans thousands of genes from a blood sample to identify distinct genomic "signatures" reflecting varying radiation doses. Patients can then be handled according to whether they received no exposure to radiation, an intermediate level of exposure that may respond to medical therapies or an inevitably lethal dose.
New Research Shows Masimo Acoustic Respiratory Monitoring Technology Provides 'Significantly More Reliable Monitoring Of Respira
Submitted by nestorb on Sun, 2007-04-08 23:59. Respiration is one of the five vital signs, but clinicians have long looked for a continuous and noninvasive method of monitoring respiration that is clinically accurate, easy to use, and well tolerated by patients. Current methods of respiration monitoring, including impedance pneumography with ECG and end-tidal CO2 with capnometry, each have limitations that make them unreliable in certain clinical situations.
Wireless Implant To Monitor Hypertension
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-03-30 15:51. CardioMems says its wireless pressure sensor was successfully surgically implanted into the wrist of three severely hypertensive patients at Hospital DIPRECA in Santiago, Chile by cardio-thoracic surgeons, Miguel Luis Berr, MD and Michael Tuchek, DO. Following the implants, Dr. Berr, commented, "As with our previous experience with the CardioMems sensor, the device was simple to implant and
