Interviewing respondents to get great insight is an artform. Researchers meet such a variety of characters when on fieldwork. Here's a few examples of personalities and how best to manage how they respond. #marketresearch #medicaldevices.

Settle down with the popcorn and watch our Christmas Movie Recreations. We've added a bit of a CMR twist. Wishing you all Season's Greetings over the holiday period. #christmasmovies #christmaswithatwist #christmasfilms

A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego created a wearable device that uses a disposable microneedle patch to continuously sample and analyse interstitial fluid. #medicaldevice #medicalresearch #wearabletech.

Researchers have developed a smart stent that can monitor hemodynamic parameters. The system could be helpful in long-term monitoring and aid patients with cardiovascular issues to avoid repeated angiograms. #medicaldevice.

Researchers have created a zwitterion polymer coating for in-dwelling medical devices, such as urinary catheters, that prevents microbes from adhering and creating troublesome biofilms. #medicalresearch #medicaldevice.

Owen Mumford Ltd has launched a new venous blood collection portfolio under its Unistik brand. The new Unistik blood collection range launches with a collection of three devices. #medicalresearch #medicaldevice.

Ametek Coining is launching all-new Bio-Implantable Composite Materials (BCMs) that are ideal for multiple life-saving applications in the medical industry. #medicaldevice #medicalresearch.

Opharmic Technology has developed an ultrasonic non-invasive ocular drug delivery device with the goal of replacing intravitreal injections. #medicaldevice #medicalresearch.

Researchers have created a soft robotic sleeve to treat lymphedema. This wearable sleeve combines a microfluidic controller and soft robotic components that apply compression to the arm to reduce and control fluid accumulation. #medicaldevice.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas, in collaboration with EnLiSense, developed a wearable electrochemical sweat sensor that can detect chemokines in sweat, alerting the wearer & clinicians to a viral or bacterial infection. #medicaldevice.

Researchers have developed an advanced organ-on-a-chip system that incorporates heart, bone, liver, and skin tissue in independent niches that are linked with simulated vascular flows. #medicalresearch #medicaldevice.

A nanotech imaging device, tiny enough to fit on a smartphone camera lens, has the potential to make the diagnosis of certain diseases accessible & affordable for people in rural & remote regions, say Australian scientists who developed it. #medicaldevice.

Israel-based cardiovascular medical device start-up, Filterlex Medical, has completed the first-in-human study of its CAPTIS device. It is designed to lessen the risk of stroke & other complications during catheter-based heart surgeries. #medicaldevice.

Abbott, CamDiab and Ypsomed have entered a partnership to develop and market an integrated automated insulin delivery (AID) system to help patients manage their diabetes round-the-clock. . #medicalresearch #medicaldevice #insulin #diabetes.

A study in ACS Central Science, one team describes a new, long-acting silver-ion releasing coating that, in rats, prevents bacteria from adhering to implants and then kills them. #medicaldevice.

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle system that can aid with the removal of endometrial lesions in a minimally invasive fashion. The research team’s nanoparticle technology can aid in minimally invasively destroying such lesions. #medicalresearch.

Researchers at Texas A&M University created a wireless device that aims to illuminate and destroy residual tumour cells left after cancer resection. The device can be used by surgeons to illuminate the tumour bed after resection. #medicaldevice.

Researchers have created molecular robots that can employ swarm behaviours to move & release small cargoes. The tech could have potential as a drug delivery mechanism & may lead to a variety of future nanotechnological medical applications.
