TENGABLE | Ben Maoz Restoring the sense of touch Loss of tactile sensation can result from traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, chronic diseases, or other conditions. It can make everyday activities difficult, reduce independence, and increase the risk of injury. TENGABLE is developing Re-Sense, a personalized, fully implantable system designed to
OncoDecipher | Tamir Tuller Decoding the hidden causes of cancer Precision oncology relies on identifying genetic changes that drive cancer and can serve as targets for treatment. However, many disease-associated genetic variants do not directly alter the protein sequence, making their biological effects difficult to identify. As a result, many
Xtrodes – Yael Hanein Wearable technology for accessible medical data Medical-grade electrophysiological data, including signals from the brain, muscles, and heart, can provide valuable information for diagnosis and treatment. Traditionally, collecting these signals has required specialized medical facilities, equipment, and staff, limiting when and where patients can be monitored. The
Cancer evolution is a stochastic process where the cancer genome gains mutations that improve its fitness (e.g. enhance proliferation, chemotherapy resistance, immune system evasion, migration, etc). These mutations affect the cancer cell phenotype by increasing expression levels of oncogenes, and silencing tumor-suppressor genes. Expressly, this is achieved by the accumulation
Smartphones take part in any aspect of human behavior and as such, they offer a great promise as a probe of human behavior. We developed a technology for passive sensing of human behavior using smartphones. Our platform uses the multiple sensors and logs that are continuously recorded in smartphones to
Judging by the past, infectious diseases pose the greatest risk for a global catastrophe. Just like the spread of wildfires, early detection of infectious disease and a comprehensive understanding of its transmission dynamics in real-time are instrumental to contain an outbreak. We will develop an algorithm for early detection of
In metastasis, cancer cells break from the primary tumor, invade through the extracellular matrix (ECM) to eventually form distant metastases. The interaction of cancer cells with their microenvironment, specifically the mechanical interactions, have been considered potential functional markers for metastasis. However, previous studies failed to develop robust quantifications of cell-ECM
About The Project: In the first 8 months of the project we were able to establish a proof-of-concept showing a high resolution, wireless surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings during VR engagement combined with eye-tracking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a system capable of recording
About the project: Myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack) is associated with sudden death as well as significant morbidity and mortality. MI results from blockage of one of the coronary arteries that supply the cardiac tissue, leading to ischemia of a segment of the heart. This process eventually leads to the
About the project: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a formation of tissue similar to bone on the leaflets of the aortic valve (AV), which rapidly leads to aortic stenosis (AS). However, patients usually do not have symptoms until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Transcatheter Aortic Valve
