MIT researchers study the best size for nanoparticles to stop internal bleeding

February 17, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT researchers are examining how different-sized polymer nanoparticles circulate in the body to aid in treating traumatic injuries. Researchers are developing injectable nanoparticles that can attract cells to help stop the bleeding at the site of an internal injury until a patient can reach a hospital for further treatment. In an effort to highlight the […]

MIT team working on all-in-one diabetes management devices

January 20, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT researchers are touting a platform aimed at helping patients maintain healthy glucose levels by streamlining the diabetes management process. The MIT researchers say it’s hard for people with diabetes to maintain a treatment regimen. Typically at every meal, they need to estimate carbohydrate content, draw blood to measure blood glucose levels, and calculate the […]

This touchy-feely glove could help stroke patients recover

August 9, 2021 By Sean Whooley

Engineers at MIT are touting a new, touch-sensing glove that can “feel” pressure and other tactile stimuli. The researchers developed a way to precisely measure and map subtleties of tactile dexterity through the glove. The inside of the glove is threaded with sensors that detect, measure and map small changes in pressure across the glove. […]

MIT researchers may have invented a safer way of splitting ventilators

May 27, 2020 By Lee Teschler

MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers say they have a way of splitting ventilators which could address many of the safety concerns — potentially boosting the supply of ventilators amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They have demonstrated their concept’s effectiveness in the lab — but they still caution it should be used only as a last resort […]
