Technology Enabled Health

Researchers say the genetically engineered stem cells also could pave the way for new regenerative medicine treatments for diseases such as Type 1 diabetes.

Ten research teams from three Arizona institutions have been awarded $100,000 each from the Flinn Foundation Seed Grants to Promote Translational Research Program to help turn their findings into viable treatments and diagnostics.

University of Arizona researchers developed a wearable device that can transmit health data 2,400 times the distance of Wi-Fi without significant network infrastructure.

College of Medicine – Tucson researchers will create a portable virtual reality device to quickly assess traumatic brain injuries when and where they occur.

In a study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers, about half of the participants said they would rather have a human – not artificial intelligence – oversee their diagnosis and treatment.

Kristen Renner, PhD, has spent her career exploring ways to help athletes not only recover from injuries, but, if possible, avoid them. A biomedical engineer by training, Dr. Renner serves as the director of biomechanics at the Banner Sports Medicine High Performance Center and is a research assistant professor in the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Her hope is to optimize sports recovery for amateur and professional athletes alike.

Biomedical implants, such as breast implants and pacemakers, improve patient health and quality of life but may be rejected as foreign bodies. Suppressing production of an immune protein could reduce this risk.

The National Science Foundation has granted the University of Arizona $30 million over five years to establish a new NSF Science and Technology Center. The New Frontiers of Sound Science and Technology Center, which comes with an additional $30 million funding option over the following five years, will bring together researchers working in topological acoustics.

Since opening in spring 2022, the UArizona SensorLab has supported nearly 25 research projects with over 250 unique sensors.
