Researchers at UCLA have developed a wearable patch that can measure muscle movements in underlying tissues. The patch contains nanomagnets, and movements in underlying muscles can deform the resulting magnetic fields, creating an electric current. This both provides a readable signal for the system, and also means that the system is self-powered and does not require a battery.

The glove contains soft actuators that helps patients to move their fingers as they perform tasks, and sensors that help to create tactile sensations.

Olivia, a previously well 13-year-old girl, is referred to the paediatric ED from the Ophthalmology ED. She went to the optician today to get a new pair of glasses. When they examined her and found that she had enlarged optic discs, they sent Olivia to the ophthalmology ED. The Ophthalmology SHO agreed and referred Olivia to you. They had explained to Olivia and her parents that she needed urgent neuroimaging as the enlarged optic discs could be a sign of a brain tumour.

Nevro , a medtech company based in California, has developed the HFX iQ spinal cord stimulation system, which is intended to treat chronic pain. While spinal cord stimulators can be very useful in controlling certain types of chronic pain, at present, patients must attend with their clinician to obtain adjustments to their stimulator. This is inconvenient for both patient and clinician alike.
