Strip Test Enables Home Monitoring of Heart Condition

Heart failure can often be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, but its progression needs to be monitored closely to adjust treatment and prevent emergency room visits. Now scientists have developed a simple paper test strip that could potentially allow patients to monitor themselves for the first time. More...

Graphene-Based Sensor Helps Predict Asthma Attacks

Researchers have developed a prototype graphene-based device that detects inflammation in lungs, which could lead to earlier detection of asthma attacks and improve the management of asthma and other respiratory diseases, preventing hospitalizations and deaths. The invention helps pave the way for developing small wearable devices that could indicate when and at what dosage to take medication. More...
