Therapies Without Drugs

Researchers are investigating the potential of microimplants to stimulate nerve cells and treat chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease.

Quadrupling Turbines, US Can Meet 2030 Wind Energy Goals

The United States could generate 20% of its electricity in a breezy way within 10 years according to new research.

Improving Electrical, Mechanical Properties of Carbon-Nanotube Fibres

Researchers recently developed a technique that can be used to build carbon-nanotube-based fibers by creating chemical crosslinks; the technique improves the electrical and mechanical properties of these materials.

Ultrasound Device Improves Charge, Run Time in Lithium Batteries

Researchers have developed an ultrasound-emitting device that brings lithium metal batteries one step closer to commercial viability. Although the research team focused on lithium metal batteries, the device can be used in any battery, regardless of chemistry.

Peak Car Bringing Huge Opportunities

2030 will be the global 'tipping point' for sustainable mobility in the world's largest cities, according to Kantar's Mobility Futures study, confirming the IDTechEx study just before. Kantar predicts private car journeys in the world's largest cities decreasing 10% by 2030 due to the sharing economy, multi-modality, autonomous vehicles and ageing population.

StoreDot Appoints Tzemah Kislev as VP Engineering

StoreDot has appointed Tzemah Kislev to the newly created role of Vice President of Engineering.

Predict Life Care

Italy-based company Predict Life Care created Aphel, a humanoid robot designed to assist patients and healthcare professionals in hospital.

Brainlab

IDTechEx spoke to Brainlab about Loop-X, a robotic imaging platform for intra-operative cone beam CT scanning. It generates 2D and 3D images of the area of interest. Loop-X is designed to facilitate surgical procedures for scoliosis, trauma and screw implantation because it enables surgeons to perform imaging during surgery without having to transfer the patient to radiology.

AmCad BioMed

IDTechEx interviewed AmCad BioMed, a Taiwan-based company that developed a robotic platform for the rapid detection of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA is vastly undiagnosed, with reports saying up to 85% of people with the condition are not aware they have it.

Wandercraft

IDTechEx interviewed French company Wandercraft. Its product, Atalante, is a robotic rehabilitation exoskeleton for stroke victims and other people who have lost the ability to walk.

Brainlab

Brainlab was exhibiting Brainlab Curve, a needle guidance system for spinal interventions such as screw implantation. Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scans are conducted to obtain images of the patient's spine. During surgery, the patient wears markers on their back to enable the system to position the CT images in relation to the rest of the patient's body.

ExoAtlet

Founded in 2014, ExoAtlet is a Russian company engaged in the development, production and commercialisation of exoskeletons. Its headquarters recently moved from Moscow to Luxemburg in order to pursue the European market more aggressively.

Medrobotics

Medrobotics was demonstrating its Flex Robotic System, a surgical robot that navigates through complex anatomy with HD 3D visualisation capabilities.

Atheer

Atheer supply an augmented reality management platform to help clients transform the way they work. This is one unified platform for augmented reality enterprise, allowing users to design, build, deploy, augment and optimise their workflows. IDTechEx interviewed Geof Wheelright, Director or Marketing Communications

Zeiss

Zeiss' Kinevo 900 was on display at Arab Health 2020. The platform enables surgical microscopy for neurosurgery by providing a detailed view of the surgical site.

Storz

At Arab Health 2020, Storz was demonstrating a protype for a new project regarding the robotic manipulation of Storz endoscopes during surgery.

Stryker

The Kalamazoo, Michigan-based medical technology company Stryker had its Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery system on show at Arab Health 2020. Its three core functions help achieve functional implant positioning for knee and hip surgery.
