Noninvasive Wearable Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
An over the counter, portable, non-invasive, adhesive free, and continuous glucose monitor device. Background and Unmet Need Diabetes Mellitus is increasing at an unprecedented pace; more than half a billion people are living with diabetes worldwide. The disease affects men, women, and children of all ages in every country, and that number is projected to […]
Oil Thickness Measurement Device
Techniques to estimate or detect oil spills in open water may be divided into two categories: remote measurement or contact-based measurements. Current remote measurement techniques comprise visual methods that include estimation depending upon the color of the oil from aerial vehicles or satellites. Such a method only estimates thickness measurements; is greatly influenced by lighting […]

Postprandial glycemia is directly associated with the development of diabetes and obesity. Further, the intake of refined carbohydrates, e.g., made from wheat […]
Noninvasive Wearable Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
Diabetes Mellitus is increasing at an unprecedented pace; more than half a billion people are living with diabetes worldwide. The disease affects men, women, and children of all ages in every country, and that number is projected to more than double to 1.3 billion people in the next 30 years, with every country seeing an […]
Randa Al Barazi, MD, and her team have developed a novel optical forceps designed to extract particularly challenging foreign bodies from the airway. This device has been designed to be compatible with commercially available bronchoscopes and scopes and Dr. Barazi believes it requires less expertise to operate the device compared to alternate and commercially available […]
