Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have developed a monolithically 3D printed haptic device that provides skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration feedback.
Ultrasound technology is a safe, high-resolution, and cost-efficient tool for imaging. Other modalities, such as MRI or CT, may require the use of anesthesia. This makes it difficult to image pediatric patients and patients sensitive to anesthesia.
This highly instrumented laryngoscope measures intubation mechanics such as force and torque to quantitatively track how a laryngoscope is being inserted.
Stanford inventors have developed a method for collagen compression along with a polymer mesh as a mechanical support to produce collagen-based composite grafts.
Inventors at Stanford University have developed a colorimetric device to visualize microstructural features in tissue biopsies towards clinical diagnostics.
Stanford inventors have developed a method of using CRISPR/Cas9 or similar gene editing technologies to genetically edit an individual's own myeloid cells for specific gene targets, which are critical to wound repair, and applying these edited cells in a hydrogel to promote ra
Researchers in Prof. David Myung's laboratory have developed a bio-compatible, crosslinking gel that can be used for in situ repair of damaged cornea or as a three-dimensional scaffold for keratocyte-keratinocyte tissue culture.
Stanford researchers have developed a contrastive learning approach that can significantly reduce the amount of labeled electrocardiogram (ECG) data required for downstream healthcare tasks, such as arrhythmia identification.
Stanford researchers have designed and prototyped an inexpensive, compact and easy-to-use smartphone lens mount for the capture of high quality photographs and videos of the eye's front and back structures.
Differential Phase Contrast (DPC) X-ray imaging measures both absorption and index of refraction of materials being imaged. This technique has several advantages compared to traditional absorption-only X-ray imaging.
The self-anchoring indwelling nerve block catheter permits, via percutaneous administration, continuous and/or intermittent infusion of local anesthetics and adjuvant analgesics for peripheral nerve and plexus anesthesia for surgical anesthesia and pain management.
One of the largest challenges for soft robotics is obtaining adequate feedback control while forming dexterous movements. Here Stanford researchers have developed a patterning technique using a UV laser on metalized plastic film.
Wastewater treatment facilities commonly add chlorine or chloramines at the end of treatment as a final disinfectant. While effective, any wastewater must be dechlorinated before release to prevent killing aquatic organisms.
