Preventing Flu in the First Place “After you and your family have lived through the flu once, it’s safe to say you’ll want to do anything you can to prevent future infection,” said Emergency Medical Physician and Engineer, Dr. Jae Pak. Many doctors and government entities such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that ...
Today is International Women’s Day, and this year the theme is #BreakTheBias, creating a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. One of the missions being championed is to celebrate digital advancement and champion the women forging innovation through technology, and this mission reflects what Arbutus Medical’s team also believes. ...
That is what ASCO Power Technologies discussed with Jacek Grabowski, Senior Project Engineer at Leach Wallace Associates, during a recent ASCO Power Industry Perspective Webcast. With more than 21 years of experience designing electrical infrastructure for hospitals, Grabowski discussed the developments from an engineer’s point of view. The exchange is ...
Innovations and Iterations In the consumer tech world, iterations happen very fast, though most inventions are not ‘one and done’ masterpieces: the Dyson cyclone vacuum cleaner made 5,127 prototypes. In the medical device world, development takes longer because of the appropriate and necessary regulations and need for safety. Using an agile approach, but with safety and reliability ...
Enzyme engineering is a scientific technology that puts enzymes or microbial cells, animal and plant cells, organelles, etc. in a certain biological reaction device, and then use the biocatalytic function of the enzyme to transform the corresponding raw materials into useful substances and apply them to social life with the help of engineering means. It includes the preparation of enzyme ...
Combined with the ever-expanding field of material sciences in plastics, along with technological innovation and advancement moving ahead at a rapid pace, engineers and device manufacturers are making great strides in the development of diagnostic products. ...
The design goal was to empower healthcare workers at all levels of expertise to make life-altering decisions at the point of care — while removing the technical barriers and capital outlays contributing to the high cost of healthcare. ...
