Wearoptimo Pty. Ltd. saw the publication of a patent application for its method and system for analyzing measurements from a wearable patch with sensors connected to microstructures that when applied to the skin penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the viable epidermis.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) developed an aero-elastic pressure sensor to be applied to minimally invasive surgeries, aiming to address issues caused by existing pressure sensors.
Sysnav Healthcare SA and Roche Holding AG entered a new collaboration to develop digital endpoints for use in clinical trials of therapies for a range of neuromuscular disorders. The alliance combines Sysnav’s expertise in wearable technologies and movement evaluation with Roche’s clinical experience. It builds on an existing collaboration that led to the qualification of the world’s first digital endpoint, for evaluating therapies in development for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). They now aim to put that experience to work in widening its application to other disorders in which movement is a key parameter.
