Forward has redesigned the primary care experience around data. Visits are holistic and not simply reactive to a specific complaint. Care is designed to catch the signs of chronic conditions.
Researchers have developed a mobile test using technology found in smartphones, and it could provide doctors and carers with a virtually instantaneous way of diagnosing someone with HIV.
Scientists at the University of Sussex have invented a new algorithm that enables smartwatches to detect and record your every move, without being told beforehand what to look for.
Researchers at BYU are the first to 3-D print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers.
Researchers have developed technology that enables a smartphone to perform lab-grade medical diagnostic tests that typically require large, expensive instruments.
From the biggest companies in Silicon Valley to Boston-based startups, the tech sector is transforming the way doctors diagnose and respond to a wide array of illnesses.
A computer's ability to predict a patient's lifespan simply by looking at images of their organs is a step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research.
A team of UK researchers have developed a machine-learning algorithm that can predict a likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke as well as any doctor.
Microfluidics, electronics and inkjet technology underlie a newly developed all-in-one biochip that can analyze cells for research and clinical applications.
It was not so long ago that sequencing even tiny snippets of DNA was a costly, cumbersome process that required access to a state-the-art lab. Today, we are inching close to putting a DNA sequencer in every pocket.
Can we repurpose the capacities of smartphones to improve health diagnostics on a global scale? Can we provide fast and reliable health diagnostics in areas with limited health infrastructure or health professionals?
