• Recent Advances in Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostics

    Jan 09 | Diagnostics World News | There can be little debate that Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest healthcare challenges we face globally. Most recent estimates suggest that over 57 million people worldwide are living with dementia, of which 70% is caused by Alzheimer’s. With aging societies, this number is expected to increase to over 150 million by 2050. Yet there is a growing sense of impending change, particularly because the way we diagnose Alzheimer’s is now at a pivotal moment. More

  • Pair of Brainwave-Tracking Earbuds Making Waves at CES

    Jan 08 | Diagnostics World News | In just a few years, the monitoring of brain signals via ubiquitous earbuds will be as common as heart rhythm tracking by popular smartwatch brands like Apple and Fitbit.

  • EverythingALS Taps ‘Power in the Crowd’ to Revamp Research Norms

    Jan 07 | Diagnostics World News | After less than three years of collecting voice samples from individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and a control group of healthy volunteers, the Peter Cohen Foundation awaits approval from the Food and Drug Administration of its algorithm as a secondary biomarker for tracking the progression of the devastating neurological disease. The drug development tool, a “listener effort” prediction model, will be used in a multitude of clinical trials as soon as the first quarter of 2026. More

  • Top Stories of 2025: AI, Cancer Detection, Women’s Health

    Dec 29 | Diagnostics World News | Diagnostics is gaining growing traction within several companies not historically diagnostics-focused, and it is the subject of a fair amount of AI investment as well. NVIDIA’s partnerships with diagnostics companies came up in more than one top story of the year, and AI’s role for image processing came up in others. Even earlier multi-cancer early detection tests were notable and the growing trend in women’s health was reflected in attention to endometriosis diagnosis. More

  • New Gut Peptide Discovery Opens Door to Allergy Treatment

    Dec 18 | Diagnostics World News | Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism controlling allergic reactions in the gut, potentially paving the way for novel treatments for conditions ranging from food allergies to irritable bowel syndrome. More

  • AI Enabling Clinical-Grade, Wearable-Based Sleep Tracking

    Dec 16 | Diagnostics World News | Good sleep patterns impact many aspects of the broader health status of individuals, but the measurement of slumber quality tends to fall at the extremes of either simplistic sleep logs or cumbersome in-patient sleep studies, or polysomnography. A new sleep-staging framework driven by artificial intelligence and an associated Apple Watch app known as BIDSleep is designed to bridge that gap by turning a smartwatch into a sleep-staging device that can distinguish between light, deep, and rapid eye movement sleep.
