Optical Coherence Elastography (OCE) Medical Imaging Device
This invention uses OCT for elastography to achieve unprecedented analysis of small structures. Elastography is a medical imaging technique that measures a tissue’s hardness. Tissues of interest, such as cancers, atherosclerotic plaques, or scars are distinguishable from normal tissue by their hardness. Elastography involves imaging tissue...

Electrical Stimulation of the Claustrum for Treatment of Epilepsy
One third of people with epilepsy – around 1 million in the US alone – do not respond to antiepileptic medications. Yet, existing technologies offer very limited benefits in controlling seizures in these patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.
The present invention presents a method for treating pharmaco-resistant epilepsy by deep...

Vital Ring: a Wearable Wireless Multiple-Lead ECG Sensor Embedded in a Flexible Finger Ring
Patients at risk of adverse cardiac events can benefit from mobile, on-demand, or real-time monitoring of their heart rhythms. Patient data can help diagnose symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias, heart attacks, and more. GW engineers incorporated advanced electrocardiogram (ECG) capabilities into a wearable device to provide portability and ease of use.

Automated Parcellation of Prenatal and Neonatal Brains
When diagnosing developmental neurological disorders, physicians start by labeling (parcellating) brain regions. Growth abnormalities in specific regions correspond to deficits in particular neurological functions. Historically, cortical parcellation is done manually by trained experts, which is costly and time-consuming (1-5 days for a single brain...

High-Throughput All-Optical Cardiac Electrophysiology System
The withdrawal of drugs from the market is a costly consequence of undetected adverse effects or toxicity. Over 30% of such withdrawals are due to cardiac toxicity (pro-arrhythmic effects mediated by cardiac ion channels), therefore regulatory agreements mandate the testing of all new drugs for cardiac liability.
GW researchers developed the first...
