There is an increasing demand for monitoring environmental air conditions both indoors and outdoors, as poor air quality is a growing threat to the public health.

As advancements in connectivity and miniaturization of electronics are made, smart sensors are beginning to find traction within the wound care pathway.

Here the IDTechEx analysts in attendance present a commentary on the show's highlights in their respective fields of research

IDTechEx's new report titled Advanced Wound Care Technologies 2018-2028 profiles technologies across the wound care space to identify opportunities in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of chronic wounds.

IDTechEx is attending the International Renewable Energy Conference (ICREN) in Barcelona this week. This article reports on their findings from the first day keynotes.

In this premium article, we will give an overview of trends in sensing technology in a way that relates to printed, flexible/stretchable and wearable technologies.

Digital health promises to change the face of healthcare. Reflecting this is growing interest in the digital health space, as evidenced by a substantial $4.7 billion being invested in 2017.

The aim of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to create living biological tissue that can repair and replace damaged tissues in the body, something that cannot be achieved by medicine and medical procedures.

Europe's leading event on printed and flexible electronics, Printed Electronics Europe 2018, opens its doors in less than three weeks to over 2,500 global visitors.

An application of tissue engineering that is rapidly growing is the building of organ-on-a-chip devices.

Surface irritant is a medical term describing materials that can cause directly and indirectly various pathologies. They are physical toxins and the ones of concern are mainly small structures.

A number of IDTechEx analysts attended CES 2018, exploring the key themes prevalent in a variety of sectors, including: healthcare, neuroscience, 3D printing, e-textiles, haptics and electric vehicles.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 1 February titled Applications of Tissue Engineering: From Bench to Bedside.

Agricultural use is currently responsible for 70% of all fresh water consumption but fresh water is becoming more expensive and scarce. Fortunately there are many solutions because they are all needed.

The world has very little fresh water and it is running out. At tens of billions of tonnes yearly, the fresh water of the ice caps is falling into the salty sea which is already 97% of the world's water.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 11th January 2018 titled Invasive and non-invasive neural interfaces - Brain machine and brain computer interfaces

Raghu Das introduced the technologies covered and an introduction to the IDTechEx Show! USA 2017

As the point-of-care biosensor market is expected to expand to $33 billion by 2027, investing in the right technology and business model now is paramount to success over the next decade.

1.8 million people acquire HIV each year, with the World Health Organisation estimating that 1 in 5 people living with HIV do not realise they are infected. Therefore, strategies for faster and earlier diagnosis are as important as ever to limit the spread of HIV.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 21 November titled Medical Biosensors for Monitoring and Diagnostics.
