World 1st:  Mind-Controlled Robotic Arm Continuously Tracks & Follows Computer Cursor Source:  Carnegie Mellon & University of  Minnesota Breakthrough Technology This is very exciting breakthrough technology.  Engineers from Carnegie Mellon and University of Minnesota have invented a non-invasive, brain-computer interface (BCI).  It's an EEG cap that enables a person to control a robotic arm simply by their thoughts.  The control over the robotic arm is very sophisticated.  Through the person's thoughts, the robotic arm can continuously track and follow a computer cursor.  No surgery and no brain implant are required. Head Cap - Noninvasive Robot Device Control The team has developed an EEG head cap that can detect signals deep in the brain.  These signals of information and commands are clarified by new, novel sensing and machine learning techniques that the team invented.  This is also the first, noninvasive robot de...

World First Glucose Monitor That's Wearable, Non-Invasive & Continuous Source:  Nemaura Medical's SugarBEAT SugarBEAT Monitors Glucose with No Needles This is top innovation in the medical wearable category from the UK.  Nemaura Medical has invented SugarBEAT, the world's first non-invasive, continuous glucose monitor.  It's wearable, affordable, small and flexible. And, it just received the CE Mark Approval which means it can begin selling in the European Union.  For anyone with diabetes, this may be a godsend. Wearable Glucose Monitor with Continuous Coverage The SugarBEAT attaches to the skin by a disposable patch. The patch monitors the wearer's glucose levels and relays it to a paired device.  No needle pricks are involved and the system provides a more efficient early warning system. $179 Billion Market Opportunity This new innovation is targeted at a huge global market, estimated at $179 billion.  The market includes diabetics and ...

Breakthrough:  Australian Researchers Develop 10 Minute Cancer Test Source:  Cancer Cells Noninvasive, Inexpensive, Universal Cancer Test The 10 minute test can detect cancer anyplace in the body.  The test was developed after scientists at the University of Queensland discovered that cancer forms a unique DNA structure when placed in water. The test works by identifying the presence of that structure. DNA Cancerous DNA molecules form entirely different 3D nanostructures than normal DNA molecules do.  That discovery enabled the scientists to innovate a new, noninvasive approach to detect cancer in any tissue including blood. Easy Test They say their test is inexpensive, portable and possibly may be performed with a mobile phone.  It's believed the test could detect cancer much earlier, which is a key to successful outcomes.  Their work was published in the journal Nature Communications.
