Smart surgical implant coatings provide early

Newly developed “smart” coatings for surgical orthopedic implants can monitor strain on the devices to provide early warning of implant failures while killing infection-causing bacteria, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers report. The coatings integrate flexible sensors with a nanostructured antibacterial surface inspired by the wings of dragonflies and cicadas.

SwRI is developing machine vision tool to improve military medical training

SwRI is developing machine vision tool to improve military medical training Southwest Research Institute is developing a machine vision tool to help the U.S. Department of Defense assess the biomechanical movements of military medical personnel during training exercises. The simulation-based training system will compare medical trainee performance to that of experts whose physical motions, or kinematics, have been pre-recorded and analyzed in 3D with artificial intelligence. Military medical training relies on subjective human evaluations where feedback may vary among trainers, said Dr. Dan Nicolella, of SwRI s Mechanical Engineering Division, who co-leads the Institute s Human Performance Initiative with Kase Saylor, an Intelligent Systems Division manager. SwRI s research will help both instructors and trainees to objectively observe how well they are performing a specific task, providing both a quantitative score, based on expert task performance, and task-specific feedback t
