Background: A wide variety of professional radio frequency (RF) aesthetic treatments for anti-aging are available aiming at skin tightening. A new home-use RF device for facial treatments has recently been developed based on TriPollar technology.
Objective: To evaluate the mechanism of the new home-use device, in the process of collagen remodeling, using an ex vivo skin model.
Methods: Human skin samples were collected in order to evaluate the anti-aging effect of a home-use device for facial treatments on an ex vivo human skin model. Skin tightening was evaluated by dermal histology, quantitative analysis of collagen fibers and dosage of collagen synthesis.
Results: Significant collagen remodeling following RF treatment with the device was found in the superficial and mid-deep dermis. Biochemical measurement of newly synthesized collagen showed an increase of 41% in the treated samples as compared to UV-aged control samples.
Conclusions: The new home-use device has been demonstrated to affect significant collagen remodeling, in terms of the structural and biochemical improvement of dermal collagen on treated skin samples.

In this study, we emphasize the importance of identifying Let-7a, a microRNA that is key in diagnosing and predicting lung cancer outcomes. Let-7a's function as a biomarker is essential, as it affects tumor suppression and controls cell differentiation and growth. We developed a novel device, an electrochemical biosensor based on Duplex Specific Nuclease (DSN), that is designed for the accurate detection of Let-7a.

This work studies upper-limb impairment resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury and presents a simple technological solution for a subset of patients: a soft, active stretching aid for at-home use. To better understand the issues associated with existing associated rehabilitation devices, customer discovery conversations were conducted with 153 people in the healthcare ecosystem (60 patients, 30 caregivers, and 63 medical providers). These patients fell into two populations: spastic (stiff, clenched hands) and flaccid (limp hands).
