The article discusses the innovative PreEvnt Isaac device showcased at CES 2026, which noninvasively detects blood glucose levels by analyzing breath biomarkers, offering a significant improvement for diabetics and others needing continuous glucose monitoring. Currently in clinical trials and seeking FDA approval, the device aims to enhance quality of life by eliminating the need for finger pricks, especially for children and the elderly.
MIT researchers have developed a noninvasive, Raman spectroscopy-based device that can measure blood glucose levels without finger pricks, showing promise as a comfortable alternative for diabetes management, with ongoing efforts to miniaturize and adapt it for wearable use.
Researchers at the University of Texas have developed a noninvasive wearable sensor that continuously monitors hydration levels using bioimpedance, transmitting data wirelessly to smartphones, with potential applications in health, sports, and extreme work environments.
A study found that noninvasive spinal stimulation using Multipath DCS extended survival and reduced disease markers in ALS mice, supporting its potential for human treatment, with ongoing clinical trials testing its safety and efficacy.
Scientists at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated the ability to detect light passing through an entire adult human head, opening new possibilities for noninvasive deep brain imaging using optical methods like fNIRS, which could lead to more accessible and portable diagnostic tools for brain conditions.
Researchers have identified distinct subtypes of Hodgkin lymphoma using noninvasive genomic profiling, which could help guide personalized treatment strategies for patients. The study analyzed tumor samples from over 1,000 patients and identified five distinct subtypes based on their genetic characteristics. These subtypes were associated with different clinical outcomes and response to treatment. The findings highlight the potential of genomic profiling in improving the precision of cancer care and tailoring therapies to individual patients.
Researchers at Rice University have successfully tested a noninvasive, ultrasound-based technique for gene delivery to multiple regions of the brain in rodents. The technique, known as focused ultrasound blood-brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO), allows for the safe and efficient delivery of gene therapy throughout the brain, potentially overcoming the challenges of treating genetic disorders that affect large brain regions. The study found that the efficiency of gene delivery improved within each targeted site when more sites were opened, suggesting the potential for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a noninvasive AI system called a semantic decoder that can translate a person's brain activity into a stream of text. The system was trained using a transformer model and requires no surgical implants. It could benefit patients who have lost their ability to physically communicate. The decoder can generate a stream of text when the participant is listening to or imagines telling a new story. The researchers have filed a PCT patent application for the technology.
