UTA leads technology to create SMART bandage tool to help monitor, heal wounds

Improving health careThe University of Texas at Arlington is developing a sensing and therapeutic tool that will help doctors and other healthcare workers better monitor and heal patients’ complex wounds more quickly. UTA is collaborating with an interdisciplinary and medical team of renowned researchers in creating the Sensing, Monitoring And Release of Therapeutics, or SMART, bandage system that can monitor and cure wounds in real time. Weidong Zhou, professor of electrical engineering, is the principal investigator on a $100,000 grant from the Texas Medical Research Collaborative,

UTARI researchers developing soft robotic glove for post-stroke hand rehabilitation

Robotic therapyInitial rehabilitation therapy for many stroke victims may focus on regaining the ability to walk. But when hands also are affected, therapy focused only on the legs can leave hand muscles contracted, a condition that can be difficult to overcome. A new, soft robotic glove that can open and close a patient’s hand may bring stroke victims relief in a lightweight device that is less expensive and more pliant than current exoskeleton technology. The glove is being developed through the Texas Medical Research Collaborative at the UT Arlington Research Institute in Fort Worth.

UT Arlington-UNTHSC collaboration to build prototype shunt flow monitoring system

Health and human conditionScientists from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of North Texas Health Science Center are building a prototype for an implantable in-line shunt flow monitoring system that would deliver both on-demand and continuous readings of hydrocephalus. Sandy Dasgupta, the UT Arlington Jenkins Garrett Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry , and Aditya Das, senior research scientist at the UT Arlington Research Institute , received about $100,000 for the project from the Texas Medical

Quicker diagnosis, better treatment hoped for children with autism through robot technology

Zeno doesn’t make judgments. He has empathetic eyes in a beautiful hazel hue. His lifelike skin is called Frubber and allows his face to smile, frown and look inquisitive. Zeno is a two-foot tall robot that has facial expressions, can walk and can gesture with two hands. But most importantly, researchers believe Zeno may be able to help diagnose autism in infants and toddlers – before traditional diagnoses that rely on speech and social interactions may be obvious. UT Arlington researchers have teamed with colleagues at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, the
