Shimmer3 Bioimpedance Monitor - Monitoring HR, respiration rate and depth, and the increase in fluid in the lungs to triage and remotely monitor Covid-19 patientsManaging the huge influx of patients in hospitals is one of the most critical challenges of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Shimmer’s Bioimpedance Monitor has the potential to help manage this challenge by monitoring HR, respiration rate and depth and the increase in fluid in the lungs to triage and remotely monitor patients. Background Bioimpedance, specifically across the lungs, has long been studied in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This measurement provides useful indicators of respiration, including rate, volume, and fluid in the lungs. Because COVID-19 attacks the lungs, these measurements provide clear indications of the progression of the disease. This information can be used in many ways, potentially including: • Monitoring patients remotely at home to determine, if and when, they will need to be admitted to the hospital • Monitoring patients in a hospital to determine when they need more aggressive treatment (e.g., ventilators) • Enabling the earlier release of non-acute patients because of the ability to monitor at home • Adjusting the treatment depending on the rate of progression of diseaseCovid-19 Innovation Challenges by Innoget posted this:

Signal demodulating devices through a Wavelet OFDM receiver (for broadband signal reception)A research group of the Department of Signal Theory and Telecommunications of the Universidad de Alcalá has developed demodulation procedures for broadband signal reception. The proposed approach implements a Wavelet OFDM receiver, based on modulated filter banks according to the Extended Lapped Transform. This modulation technique has been proposed in data transmission for broadband power line communications (PLC), and presents the following characteristics: a) a greater spectral separation between the subcarriers; b) more noise immunity, including narrow band interference impulsive. A block channel equalization is also incorporated in the frequency domain, which includes a parallel sine-modulated filter bank. This invention can be used in all those techniques with multicarrier modulation based on Wavelet OFDM in the transmitter. The group looks for ICT companies to achieve manufacturing agreements and commercial agreements with technical assistance.University of Girona (TTO) posted this:

Sling for paretic limb - Special aid for patients after stroke or brachial plexus injuryParesis of the upper limb is one of the most common consequences of a stroke or brachial plexus injury. Patients have difficulties controlling the paretic limb, especially against gravity so it can create overloading-induced soft tissue damage in the shoulder area, which can lead to the painful shoulder syndrome. Reduced ability of paretic upper limb to perform functional movements (e.g., reaching, grasping, and manipulating an object) leads to difficulties in performing daily activities and dependence of the individual on the help of others. In addition to the irreplaceable role of intensive rehabilitation, temporary positioning of the limb is necessary. For this, rehabilitation aids are used to improve the user’s self-service and quality of life. Common solution for positioning paretic upper limb are currently, for example, a non-woven triangular bandage or a „bag“ type arm sling in which the forearm is placed in a soft „bag“ with a free wrist. However, these aids can overload the cervical spine and cause pain, while at the same time, it can be difficult for the patient to fix the paretic limb in such aids by himself. Our invention is intended to be used for simple fixation of the paretic upper limb in the ideal position without the need to be hung over the neck area. The aid is intended to be used for temporary period, until the patient’s condition stabilizes, and he can already be equipped with a suitable orthosis or for a temporary period until the function of the upper limb improves. The positioning sling fixes the elbow joint and the wrist of the handicapped upper limb into a „pocket“, which forms a support and ensures the ideal position of the limb by preventing damage to the muscles and joints of the upper limb. Thanks to the elastic part, there is no overloading in the shoulder area and the sling does not slip and fits well. The sling can put on by the patient himself, thus increasing patient’s self-service and quality of life during recovery. The sling is suitable for patients after a stroke, with brachial plexus paresis, peripheral paresis and after injuries of the upper limb, where temporary positioning is necessary. It can also be used, for example, in Sudeck syndrome, which is associated, among other things, with the development of edema. The use of a sling ensures a smaller bend in the elbow joint and a better lymphatic drainage of the upper limb, thus reducing the edema, enabling better rehabilitation process and minimizing the occurrence of secondary problems. After being given instructions, the patient usually manages to put the device on the limb by himself. Main advantege is its simplicity - setting the appropriate length of the sling using velcro makes aid universal and efficient during recovery, it also improves patient’s self-service during daily activities. It is also easy to handle, which was confirmed by social workers and medical staff. It can be used both in home and institutional care.Yeda posted this:
Small Molecules for Treatment of Huntington's Disease and Related DisordersTrinucleotide repeats expansion disorders (TREDs) are a set of diseases in which repetitions of short DNA segments (three nucleotides) occur and accumulate in the genome. This is the cause of several neurological and neuromuscular disorders such as Huntington's disease (HD) and amyptrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which are lethal and currently incurable. The current technology offers a set of pharmacological compounds that can inhibit the transcription of only the mutated expanded allele, without affecting the wt allele,thus potentially treat neurological pathologies caused by TREDs such as HD.Javier Montiel Bonmatí posted this:

Smart Dust: A Battery-Free, Energy Harvesting Sensor with Integrated Pre-Quantum Superposition Processor and Artificial Intelligence that Communicates Wirelessly and Bidirectionally to the Cloud (RF-Free & Zero Power).EPIC Semiconductors (EPIC) is a fabless technology design firm founded in 2008 in Vancouver, Canada. EPIC has developed a microscopic AI sensor chip (Smart Dust) featuring energy harvesting (this eliminates the use of toxic batteries) and bidirectional non-magnetic (RF-free) communication. Its small size allows it to be easily embedded into everyday objects, sensing “human actions, physical forces, chemical reactions and bio-effects”. Why we do not like batteries? Batteries contain chemicals and metals that are harmful for the environment. As they decompose in landfills they undergo a photochemical reaction which results in greenhouse gasses and global warming. The harmful chemicals in the batteries will end up in the water supply, damaging the health of people, micro organisms, animals and plants. Why we are against RF-waves? High frequency electromagnetic radio-waves are known to damage the DNA cells of living organisms (leading to mutations and the uncontrolled cell growth we know as cancer). Furthermore, wireless technologies provide rising pollution of microwaves (electro smog).
