Stanford inventors have developed a method for collagen compression along with a polymer mesh as a mechanical support to produce collagen-based composite grafts.
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a compact high-fidelity haptic teleoperation system which shows accurate and isotropic behavior in translation and rotation.
A Stanford University physician has developed a device to stimulate regeneration of olfactory nerves using minimally invasive electrical neurostimulation.
Doctors with Stanford Medicine have developed a multi-user, mixed reality medical simulation application. Medical in-situ and simulation training centers cost millions of dollars a year to administer, with limited availability to those in remote areas or the third world.
Researchers in the Nakauchi lab at Stanford University have shown that the contribution of human donor cells to tissues and organs can be increased in an interspecies host embryo by knocking out insulin growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1r).
Stanford researchers have developed a technique to interpret contact events between a human and a device equipped with a force sensor. It can detect and classify distinct touch interactions such as tap, touch, grab, and slip.
Derek F. Amanatullah and his research group developed an instrumented retractor that was designed to record the applied force, duration, and angle of retraction during a piriformis-sparing posterior approach to the hip.
Stanford researchers have developed a library of polymeric hydrogel formulations to prevent and/or reduce biofouling on implanted sensors and medical devices.
Stanford researchers in the Camarillo Lab have patented a model-less, robotic position-control technique that regulates force. The controller simultaneously controls position and applied forces of the manipulator as it moves through a workspace, without requiring a model.
Stanford researchers have developed deep learning methods which can more precisely localize the position and orientation of a camera in the lung anatomy in real-time.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a method of preventing Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) by inhibiting a specific immune receptor. GVHD is a major debilitating complication of transplantation.
Stanford researchers have developed a new method and medical device to close the abdominal wall fascia after laparotomy to reduce the incidence of incisional hernias. Incisional hernias occur in nearly 50% of high risk patients leading to costs of about $3B annually.
