Brain-to-Text Communication Neuroprosthesis

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that enables individuals with paralysis to communicate and control devices through multimodal speech and gesture neural activity decoding.

Novel Continuous Method to Monitor and Predict Dyspnea

Professor Erica Heinrich and their team from the University of California, Riverside have developed a novel clinical tool that can be used for the continuous, objective prediction and monitoring of dyspnea in hospitalized and ICU patients. This tool works by using machine learning models to continuous monitor and predict bouts of dyspnea, even when patient monitoring is difficult due to sedation or other medical conditions. This technology has been tested in healthy individuals and is advantageous because it leverages non-invasive biomarkers and it is designed to overcome the subjectivity and low resolution of current methods.

Tumor Infiltration Detection And Cell Density Mapping

Glioblastoma is a malignant primary brain tumor that is highly invasive and infiltrative. Surgical resection and radiation therapy are not able to remove all tumor cells. Consequently, residual tumor is found in the majority of patients after surgery, causing early recurrence and decreased survival. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is routinely used in the diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of glioblastoma. The contrast-enhancing region identified with MRI is generally used to guide surgery and to provide a reference for radiotherapy planning. While edema and non-enhancing regions surrounding the tumor arepotential sites of tumor infiltration, usually they are not included in surgical resection as routine MRI cannot differentiate tumorous tissues in those regions. UC Berkeley researchers have developed a novel MRI technique that can identify, non-invasively and in-vivo, areas of altered iron metabolism associated with tumor activities in the edema tissue surrounding glioblastoma. The technique uniquely delineates a hyperintense area within the edema. The method can be used to guide surgery and radiotherapy and to monitor treatment response.

System And Methods For Acoustic Monitoring Of Electron Radiotherapy

A novel technology for real-time, non-invasive monitoring and adaptive control of electron radiotherapy treatments using acoustic signals.

Machine Vision-Based System and Methods for Wound Diagnostics and Therapies

Precise control of wound healing depends on physician’s evaluation, experience. Physicians provide conditions and time for body to either heal itself, or to accept and heal around direct transplantations, and their practice relies a lot on passive recovery. Slow healing of recalcitrant wounds is a known persistent problem, with incomplete healing, scarring, and abnormal tissue regeneration. 23% of military blast and burn wounds do not close, affecting a patient’s bone, skin, nerves. 64% of military trauma have abnormal bone growth into soft tissue. While newer static approaches have demonstrated enhanced growth of non-regenerative tissue, they do not adapt to the changing state of wound, thus resulting in limited efficacy.
