Ground-breaking clinical studies show the future of post-operative care and rapid discharge

Posted on June 15, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

Three clinical studies have concluded that a new and ground-breaking monitoring system using artificial intelligence and wireless technology to monitor patients can identify clinical deterioration earlier than currently used “manual and simplistic” methods. Researchers from the WARD project (Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and circulatory Distress) at Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg Hospital and the Technical University of Denmark, […]

Posted on June 14, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

Answering the call for a high-profile project‍: Last year, Sonantic were contacted with an exciting question: Could Sonantic build a custom AI voice model for acclaimed actor Val Kilmer following a tracheotomy in 2014 as part of his treatment for throat cancer? Sonantic has built a powerful, AI voice platform that enables entertainment professionals to […]

Dancers dancing through pain

Posted on June 1, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

Dancers dancing through pain: A new Curtin-developed wearable sensor system has tracked the movement of dancers, providing valuable insights into how they adapt to dance through disabling pain. The study, published in PLOS ONE, analysed the movement of 52 pre-professional ballet and contemporary dance students from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). The […]

Research could hand life-saving boost to paramedics

Posted on May 21, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

Groundbreaking Coventry University research could provide paramedics with crucial and potentially life-saving assistance when treating pedestrians hurt in road accidents. A detailed database of pedestrian injuries is being developed alongside a mathematical model, which can reverse-engineer pedestrian collisions and produce first-hand virtual CT scans from simple photographs of a patient’s injuries and the vehicle involved. […]

Liver disease: New non-invasive method of risk assessment

Posted on May 19, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

In a recent study, an interdisciplinary research team from MedUni Vienna showed that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used as a non-invasive method for predicting complications in chronic liver disease. The scientists combined a simple risk stratification system developed at MedUni Vienna – the functional liver imaging score (FLIS) – with splenic diameter. […]

Rapid method shown to detect infection in cystic fibrosis

Posted on May 11, 2022 (November 19, 2025) by Hippocratic Post

Rapid method shown to detect infection in cystic fibrosis: Southampton researchers have demonstrated a quick and accurate method to diagnose bacterial infections. The technique has the potential to detect infections in cystic fibrosis patients in minutes rather than days. In future, the simple analysis could be performed on hospital wards to deliver faster and more […]

Imaging breakthrough could aid development of quantum microscopes

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

A breakthrough in quantum imaging could lead to the development of advanced forms of microscopy for use in medical research and diagnostics. A team of physicists from the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University have found a new way to create detailed microscopic images under conditions which would cause conventional optical microscopes to fail. In […]

New method of developing diagnostic tests could help tackle future pandemics

Posted on April 1, 2022 by Hippocratic Post

Software which helps speed up the process of creating new diagnostic tests could help combat future pandemics, its developers say. A team of bioengineers and chemists in Scotland and China have developed a system which suggests new reaction pathways to accelerate the design and development of new diagnostic assays. The system, which is now freely […]
