Single transmitter programmes and powers implants

11th May 2021 11:47 am 11th May 2021 12:19 pm A single transmitter located outside the human body can provide programming and power to heart and spinal cord implants, claim engineers in the US. Wireless implants developed at Rice University allow for multiple stimulators, as seen here, to be programmed and magnetically powered from a single transmitter outside the body (Image: Secure and Intelligent Micro-Systems Lab/Rice University) Experiments at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering in Houston, Texas showed an alternating magnetic field generated and controlled by a battery-powered transmitter outside the body can deliver power and programming to two or more implants to at least 60mm away.

Sensor glove aims to help curb trichotillomania

A new glove device aims to help people with trichotillomania, or compulsive hair-pulling. Senior undergraduates are developing a glove-based sensor that tracks hand motion and flexing, combined with a smartphone app that tracks behavior over time. The glove incorporates flex and other sensors along with a gyroscope that sense when a hair-pull has happened. The glove sends data to the app, which keeps track of “no-pull” streaks. “The reward for every week you don’t pull your hair could be monetary or something as simple as a congratulations on the app,” says Linda Liu, a student in Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering.
