Wearable Ultrasound Tech for Muscle Monitoring Opens New Possibilities in Healthcare and Human-machine Interfaces

October 31, 2024

…wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures high-resolution images of muscle movements, enabling continuous, long-term monitoring. When worn on the rib cage, it effectively monitored diaphragm function for respiratory health assessments. When worn…

Motor Cortex Shown to Play Active Role in Learning Movement Patterns

May 4, 2014

UC San Diego neurobiologists discovered that the motor cortex of the brain plays an active role in learning new motor movements. In a series of experiments using mice, the researchers showed in detail how those movements are learned over time.

Multi-Tasking Wearable Continuously Monitors Glucose, Alcohol, and Lactate

May 9, 2022

…developed a prototype of such a wearable that continuously monitors several health stats at once.

Scientists Create a Noninvasive Wearable System to Monitor Stomach Activity Throughout the Day

March 22, 2018

…wearable, non-invasive system to monitor electrical activity in the stomach over 24 hours—essentially an electrocardiogram but for the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Applications include monitoring GI activity for patients outside of a clinical setting, which cuts down costs. Monitoring for longer periods of time also increases the likelihood of capturing abnormal…

Nano Fiber Feels Forces and Hears Sounds Made by Cells

May 15, 2017

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a miniature device that’s sensitive enough to feel the forces generated by swimming bacteria and hear the beating of heart muscle cells.

NSF Awards More than $1 Million to Interdisciplinary Research Team to Study Chronic Low Back Pain

September 19, 2022

A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at UC San Diego has received $1.2 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create a novel system to study and inform the treatment of chronic low back pain.

‘Pop-up’ Electronic Sensors Could Detect When Individual Heart Cells Misbehave

December 23, 2021

UC San Diego engineers developed a powerful new tool that directly measures the movement and speed of electrical signals inside heart cells, using tiny “pop-up” sensors that poke into cells without damaging them. It could be used to gain more detailed insights into heart disorders and diseases.

Introducing the UC San Diego Return to Learn Program

May 5, 2020

Program makes COVID-19 testing available to thousands of students in effort to track the novel coronavirus and better position the campus to resume in-person activities in the fall.

Hearts and Stripes: A Tiny Fish Offers Clues to Regenerating Damaged Cardiac Tissue

June 25, 2019

Zebrafish, a pet shop staple, may hold the clue for how hearts can heal from damage.

Researchers Translate a Bird’s Brain Activity Into Song

June 16, 2021

It is possible to re-create a bird’s song by reading only its brain activity, shows a first proof-of-concept study from the University of California San Diego. The study is an early step toward building vocal prostheses for humans who have lost the ability to speak.
