Nanomaterials are opening up new possibilities in medicine. But what if such nanomaterials escape into the environment? Empa researchers are currently assessing potential risks.

Smart bandages with embedded electronics and medicines are designed to help chronic wounds heal better.

Doctors often query the electronic patient record for information that helps them make treatment decisions. But searching for an answer to a single question can take several minutes. A machine learning model could help professionals find information more efficiently.

A new process developed by Swiss researchers makes textiles germicidal. In future, this could be used to coat curtains in hospitals.

A spin-off from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) has developed an exoskeleton that enables people with paralyzed hands to grasp and release objects again. Tests in hospitals and rehabilitation centers have already been successful.

Researchers have developed a new method to look into the fine structures of the brain. Artificial intelligence (AI) reconstructs the tissue as precisely as it has never been photographed.

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that helps users understand how a machine learning model thinks and compare it to how a human thinks.

A patch developed by Swiss researchers provides early warning of leaks at sutures in the gastrointestinal tract. The novel patch should significantly reduce the risk of life-threatening complications after abdominal surgery.

With the help of electrodes implanted in the brain, a paralysed ALS patient has regained a simple form of communication ability. A computer decodes letters from his brain signals.
