Global capnography devices market to grow $700m by 2025
As per a recent research report compiled by Global Market Insights, capnography devices market size is projected to exceed $700m by 2025. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and a surge in the number of surgical procedures worldwide will fuel capnography devices market size over the forthcoming years.
Rehabilitation exoskeletons: engineering mobility
Around 50,000 people in the UK live with a spinal cord injury. To those who are injured, regaining movement is life changing - and advances in exoskeleton technology are helping to renew their independence. Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director of Electromechanical Systems (EMS), shares insight into the motor technology powering rehabilitation exoskeleton systems.
What does the future hold for the hearables market?
The first electric hearing aid was created in 1898 and was arguably among the earliest examples of wearable tech. So it is fitting that more than a century later, on- and in-ear technology is once again leading the way - this time as hearables, a sector now poised for substantial growth.
Cost-efficient point-of-care medical testing
STMicroelectronics and Alifax, a producer of clinical diagnostic instrumentation, have worked together on a rapid, cost-efficient portable medical testing solution that will be available from Alifax, for point-of-care molecular diagnostic detection using highly reliable real-time Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR) to amplify genetic material (RNA and DNA) in patient samples.

The imminent rise of antimicrobial materials
As the world is facing health and economic consequences brought on by a global pandemic, the emergence of new infectious agents has become a significant concern. Here, Christian Dianne Oro, Mechanical Engineer and Freelance Content Writer at Matmatch, explains what kind of antibacterial and antimicrobial materials to use to minimise the spread of any viruses.
Impending technological innovations of AI in medical diagnostics
Image recognition AI has the potential to revolutionise medical diagnostics. In addition to enabling early disease detection and even the possibility of prevention, it can enhance the workflow of radiologists by accelerating reading time and automatically prioritising urgent cases. However, as IDTechEx has reported previously in its article 'AI in Medical Diagnostics: Key Strategies for Faster Clinical Uptake', image recognition AI's current valu...
