News Biosensors & Smart Medical Devices

24 June 2025 | Sunshine, science, and simulation. At the MidWinter Meeting of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) in Orlando, Lukas Driendl, doctoral candidate in the research group “Bio-Inspired Information Processing”, spent an inspiring week diving into the latest in hearing research.

23 June 2025 | Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to save lives. It relieves injured people with life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity.

19 May 2025 | Blood sugar, heart rate, and sleep data – wearable sensors such as smartwatches, rings or insulin patches can be used to monitor health parameters in everyday life. In this episode of NewIn, we meet Prof. Can Dincer. He develops biochemical sensors for point-of-care diagnostics and wearables. He focuses on minimally and non-invasive applications, such as analyzing the breath.

18 December 2024 | Wearables such as smart watches or sensor rings are already a routine part of everyday life and are also popular Christmas gifts. They track our pulse rate, count our steps or analyze our sleep patterns. How can they already influence our behavior today and what future developments are possible? In this interview, Can Dincer, who holds a Professorship of Sensors and Wearables for Healthcare at TUM and is a PI at MIBE, offers insights into his research.

06 December 2024 | TUM celebrated the end of an extraordinarily successful 2024 with the Dies Academicus. Students, employees, and partners of TUM, including Prof. Hendrik Dietz and Prof. Oliver Hayden, PIs at MIBE, gathered in the Audimax at the main campus in Munich under the motto "Facta non verba" - deeds instead of words.

27 August 2024 | Magnetoelectric nanoparticles for Frankenstein, medical imaging with polka dot patterns, and microtaxis that move between cells. On Friday, 24 July, at MIBE's third Bioengineering Day, researchers brought their topics to life in the form of science slams.

29 November 2023 | Researchers have developed a method for assessing the number and structure of aggregated blood platelets that can potentially help quantify the risk of a severe COVID-19 infection.

20 July 2023 | Prof. Werner Hemmert and his team are researching the hearing process with cochlear implants (CI). They are developing computer models to investigate which information passes from the CI to the nervous system.

17 July 2023 | An international research team has developed flexible electrodes that fold themselves around thin nerves upon contact with moisture. They are produced with 4D printing technology.
