A new experimental diabetes implant is drawing attention for its potential to automate insulin management and reduce the daily burden on patients. The technology relies on bioengineered insulin-producing cells protected by a microscopic crystalline-like shield, allowing them to function safely inside the body. One of its most distinctive aspects is that it works without external batteries, electronics, or constant manual input. Rather than operating like traditional medical devices, the implant […]
Une étude révèle que de nombreuses crises cardiaques chez les moins de 65 ans, en particulier chez les femmes, ne seraient pas causées par les facteurs classiques qu’on leur attribue. De quoi remettre en question la manière dont les infarctus sont diagnostiqués et surtout pris en charge.
Repérer les troubles cognitifs le plus tôt possible est devenu un enjeu majeur face à la progression d’Alzheimer. Une étude récente suggère que l’intelligence artificielle pourrait jouer un rôle clé en identifiant des signaux précoces invisibles dans les dossiers médicaux.
At CES 2026, Withings is introducing Body Scan 2, an updated version of its Body Scan platform that expands the scope of health metrics captured during a short, guided weigh-in. The device sits above Withings’ conventional smart scales and is positioned as a more comprehensive at-home assessment tool rather than a body-composition-first product. It is essential to differentiate Body Scan from Body Comp, the scale Withings launched at IFA 2022, […]
For most of the past decade, consumer electronics have marched toward ever-smarter, ever-more-personal roles in our daily lives. We followed the trends for many years, but the latest shift is more surprising than any step counter or sleep tracker: everyday gadgets are starting to behave like medical devices. The idea that a pair of mass-market earbuds can assist with mild hearing loss, or that a wristwatch can detect atrial fibrillation, […]
