Researchers at UCL have developed a method to reduce MRI scan times for dementia diagnosis by two-thirds, potentially doubling daily scan capacity and improving access to early care.
Although age is a risk factor, there are other modifiable factors that can influence dementia risk and disease progression. Angela Bradshaw, the Director for Research at Alzheimer Europe, emphasises the need for more comprehensive interventions across multiple areas to support dementia prevention
UKRI-funded researchers are using AI and Xenon gas imaging to make MRI scans faster, cheaper, and more accurate, improving lung disease diagnosis across the NHS.
UCL researchers have developed an ultrasound helmet that enables deep brain stimulation without surgery, offering hope for Parkinson's and other neurological disorders.
Researchers have developed an AI stethoscope that discovers heart conditions in 15 seconds, giving NHS GPs a quick and simple tool to spot problems earlier.
Afon Technology is pioneering advancements in diabetes care with its innovative device, Glucowear™, which is being developed as the world’s first non-invasive, real-time, continuous blood glucose monitor.
A Harvard study finds that following a Mediterranean diet can lower dementia risk for those with high genetic susceptibility, including APOE4 carriers.
Professor Susanna Price, Chair of the European Society of Cardiology’s Advocacy Committee, advocates for improved early detection and addressing inequalities in cardiovascular disease prevention, the leading cause of death worldwide.
A state-of-the-art facility in Darlington is set to fast-track the development of next-generation RNA therapies thanks to nearly £30 million in government funding.
Harvard engineers have pioneered a unique wearable robot that adapts to user movements, providing personalised assistance to enhance daily activities for stroke and ALS patients.
Scientists have developed new tests that can detect avian influenza, which is also commonly known as bird flu. These tests can detect influenza quickly and more accurately than ever before.
NIH researchers found that the brain's control centre for a lost limb persists long after amputation, challenging theories of cortical remapping. This insight into phantom limb syndrome could inform future neuroprosthetic and pain treatments.
