A global epidemic, sepsis is an especially fast acting attack on the body. Now scientists are working on new techniques to diagnose more quickly and improve outcomes
It is predicted that the global shipment of smart wearables will approach 302.2 million devices in 2023, increasing from 222.9 million devices in 2019.
The need for viable global health solutions—and particularly solutions for global surgery—are paramount. In response, a research group at the University of Leeds, U.K., has been working in concert with a multidisciplinary team to develop retractor for abdominal insufflation-less surgery (RAIS), a gasless laparoscopy system that enables crucial surgery in low-resource settings.
What does it mean to advance technology for humanity? Does it beg us to ask, “Define technology?” and “What segment of Humanity?” As we peruse through the plethora of publications in the various EMBS journals, there is clearly no shortage of innovation using the latest and greatest technology.
