For decades, checking blood sugar meant the same routine: a lancet, a test strip, a drop of blood, and a number that told you nothing about what happened an hour ago or what might happen next. That ...

One of Jack Lloyd’s innovations, the pulse oximeter, is credited with improving operating room and critical care safety and ...

Researchers built an AI radar system that tracks blood flow and estimates blood pressure contactlessly for easier at-home heart monitoring.

Pulse oximeter devices routinely overestimate blood oxygen levels in darker-skinned patients—a racial bias that can trigger downstream health harms for Black individuals, compounding well beyond any ...

Chengyi Xu, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the School of Engineering Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, is ...

Door sensors are some of the simplest smart home devices you can get. Instead of anything fancy like measuring the heat or motion, all they do is detect when their two halves are separated. Yet, that ...

Another year, another sensor, or so it seems. Actually at Sensors Converge 2026, there's a lot of new sensors and sensor support technology from artificial intelligence (AI) analysis and sensor ...

Researchers in Ania Bleszynski Jayich’s lab use a mechanical resonator to enable greater entanglement for potentially more powerful sensors. Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not ...

There are countless smart home devices, varied in gadgetry and practicality, that you can place piecemeal throughout your home and configure any way you want. From voice assistants to smart locks, ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...
