What makes testing biocompatible materials tricky? Biocompatibility testing ensures medical devices are safe for our bodies, but it's not always straightforward! Here are some hurdles researchers face: Unfamiliar materials: New devices may use untested materials. Figuring out their safety adds an extra step. Test limitations: Current methods might not be sensitive enough to catch all potential risks. Accounting for unknowns: How the body reacts can be unpredictable. Balancing caution with efficiency is key. These challenges can slow development, but researchers are constantly working on better testing methods! ☎️ 949 315 7200 📩 info@biocomptesting.com 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e_FBxrz #science #biocompatibility #medicaldevices

It’s empowering to see the growing conversation around conditions like endometriosis - often called the “missed disease” because it takes so long for many women to get a diagnosis. This article highlights how tough this journey can be, but also how vital FemTech is in closing the gap in women’s healthcare. Its so frustrating to see how many women in my closest circles are stuck in a cycle of hospital visits and tests, only to be told everything’s fine, dismissed or at most leave the clinic with the “blanket solution” aka “the pill”. For those already on antidepressants or dealing with mental health struggles, it’s frustrating when these “solutions” actually make things worse. They end up feeling unheard, and it takes a serious toll on their mental health. Feeling like they’re missing out on their 20’s, like their bodies are their enemies, like theyre going crazy & wanting to give up… We need to talk about this more! Women shouldn’t feel like their pain is all in their head. There’s real potential in FemTech to change the way we diagnose and treat these issues, but it has to start with actually listening to women and understanding their needs beyond just reproductive health. A big thank you to Olivia Jeffries for her ongoing advocacy and highlighting how important FemTech is in addressing the healthcare gap, and of course Team Consulting for enabling this field of research, and providing a platform to continue pushing these conversations forward and giving hope to so many women. #EndometriosisAwareness #FemTech #WomensHealth #MentalHealthMatters

⭕ From blood cells to 💊 breakthroughs What might haemoglobin teach us about design? ✅ Facts first: + Haemoglobin is toxic for our body if it escapes RBC in the bloodstream (hemolysis). + It is trapped in RBC to keep us safe. + It also carries oxygen to 37 trillion cells in our body. 🔑 What insights can we draw on design from this? Here’s 3 lessons in design I learned from this. 1️⃣ Encapsulation 💊 Red blood cells encapsulate and contain hemoglobin, ensuring safe oxygen transport without causing tissue damage. 👉 This concept can inspire protective designs in drug delivery and digital privacy. 2️⃣ Efficient Transport Mechanism 🚚 Hemoglobin's efficient oxygen delivery underscores the importance of effective distribution systems. 👉 Innovations inspired by this could enhance logistics for timely resource delivery. 3️⃣ Function-Driven Design 🛎 Hemoglobin's specialized function highlights designing systems tailored to specific purposes. 👉 Clear understanding of functions and constraints leads to optimized solutions in almost all fields.

Developing non-invasive glucose monitoring is the holy grail of diagnostic instrumentation. However, it still remains a formidable challenge. → Each individual’s unique physiology requires precise calibration, making universal solutions difficult. → Physiological differences among patients add complexity. Factors like tissue thickness, blood flow, and metabolic rates vary widely. Designing a device that accounts for these variations is challenging. → Current sensors struggle to provide precise readings. Blood glucose levels fluctuate rapidly. Even minor errors can lead to significant health risks. → These sensors require frequent calibration. Maintaining consistency in real-world conditions is difficult. → Skin pigmentation, sweat, and external light can interfere with readings. Designing sensors to minimize these factors is complex. → Converting sensor data into reliable glucose levels involves sophisticated algorithms. These must account for numerous physiological variables. → Continuous monitoring demands low-power solutions. Balancing performance and battery life is critical. → Devices must be comfortable for continuous wear. Bulky or intrusive designs will lead to poor user compliance. → Meeting stringent medical standards for safety and efficacy requires extensive testing. This process is both time-consuming and costly. Join the conversation. What are your thoughts on non-invasive glucose monitoring? Follow for daily insights into tech product development. #MedicalDevices #CGM #BioTech #Healthcare #MedTech #SimplifyingInnovation #Unplex
