Smarter rehab

International study shows its positive impact among older adults

Three types of technique could support difficulties caused by stroke or other neurological diseases

"We believe that atrial fibrillation screening has great potential, but currently the yield is too low and the cost is too high to make widespread screening a reality"

The financing will bring the company's cumulative funding to over US$25m

The rehab exercises focus on improving attention, executive functioning, visual spatial skills, reaction time and memory

Developers of a new AI device aim to recreate neural networks to detect Parkinson's in patients. The device brings together a series of connected algorithms which collectively mimic the way a human brain works. It can assess whether someone has Parkinson’s from their nocturnal breathing. This neural network is also able to discern the severity [...]

Researchers found no difference between the enhanced and standard self-monitoring

Breakthrough could enable more people to be eligible for life-changing brain surgery

Paralysis or weakness on one side of the body affects around 80 per cent of stroke survivors

Stroke surgery and other neuro-endovascular procedures could be made safer and easier through robotics, research suggests. A study presented at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s (SNIS) 19th annual meeting, showed that a new multi-articulated self-steering microcatheter for neuroendovascular surgery has the potential to increase technical precision, reduce procedural time, reduce radiation exposure and enable semi-automation of [...]
