When looking for an investor for your health technology company you should approach the search the same way you would the hunt for a romantic partner. You may have to kiss a few frogs first, but if you communicate honestly and are open about your expectations, you’ll find just the right match. Nurture the relationship [...]
A UK study, led by researchers at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Biology, has produced the first 4D map of healthy human brain temperature. This map overturns several previous assumptions and shows the remarkable extent to which brain temperature varies by brain region, age, sex and time of day. Importantly, these findings also challenge a widely held belief that [...]

German scientists have developed a new method of using molecular data to extract subtypes of illnesses. In the future, this method will help to support the study of larger patient groups, according to the research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Nowadays doctors define and diagnose most diseases on the basis of symptoms. However, [...]
Three inventors of creative new technology for diabetes patients have been named as finalists in the Diabetes Center Berne (DCB) Innovation Challenge. They were selected from the 20 best start-ups, medical and research professionals, and individuals that pitched their ideas to the jury on May 10 - all of whom have been invited to join a [...]
Just as it’s hard to understand a conversation without knowing its context, it can be difficult for biologists to grasp the significance of gene expression without knowing a cell’s environment. To solve that problem, researchers at Princeton Engineering have developed a method to elucidate a cell’s surroundings so that biologists can make more meaning of [...]

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week 2022, Health Tech World has put together a list of ten of the most popular mental health apps for smartphones or tablets. All of the following apps have at least a four star rating on the App Store from more than 1,000 reviews. If you or someone you know is [...]
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a prototype of a wearable that can continuously monitor several health stats - glucose, alcohol, and lactate levels - simultaneously in real-time. The device is about the size of a stack of six quarters. It is applied to the skin through a Velcro-like patch of [...]
An international research team has constructed computational disease models of altered gene interactions across many cell types at different time points. The researchers’ long-term goal is to develop such computational models into 'digital twins' of individual patients’ diseases. Such medical digital twins might be used to tailor medication so that each patient could be treated [...]
