    Abstract Cardiovascular disease may be the world's leading killer of men and women, but new technologies are in development that could help lessen its impact. Among them are a variety of innovative external and internal patches that employ flexible and stretchable materials, machine learning, and other tactics to monitor heart activity and function, and in some cases to provide on-the-spot treatment.

    Abstract Contact lenses are ideal conduits for continuous health monitoring. They have a long safety record, and they sit on the eye, where they have access to a range of biological signals. Making the transition from vision correction to biological monitoring, however, requires advances in technological development so the lenses not only detect and report signals accurately, but retain the high level of comfort that users have come to expect.

    Abstract Extended reality has reached a critical point in biomedicine. The technology is accelerating and excitement about potential health care benefits is mounting but bridging the gap between envisioning what could be and actually making it happen is still a work in progress. Part of the challenge is coordinating all the major players to ease the development pipeline so virtual, augmented, and mixed reality can reach their potential in everything from diagnostics and surgeries to clinician training and telemedicine.

    Abstract "The traditional way of delivering drugs has a very low efficiency. For instance, with solid tumors, drug delivery efficiency is reported to be lower than 1% [1], which means that 99% of the drug is elsewhere in the body causing side effects instead of actually fighting the cancer. This is where micro- and nanorobots can come into play, because they can swim or otherwise move to the target location in a controllable way. This is the hope."-Tian Qiu, Ph.D., biomedical robotics developer.

    Abstract Microbubbles and ultrasound are no longer teaming up only as a way to enhance images. New technologies are now using the two to create physical pathways into cells for easier drug delivery, even into the cells of highly drug-resistant cancerous tumors and across the blood-brain barrier. Going further, a Texas research group has developed drug-carrying microbubbles that can complete targeted delivery themselves, and another group in Missouri has shown that two-way traffic in channels across the blood-brain barrier also allow biomarkers to flow out, which provides a new window into the brain as well as brain diseases.

    Abstract Surgeons around the world are now using robot-assisted tech to help them perform minimally invasive operations ranging from hernia repair and gall bladder removal to knee replacement and cancer-related colectomy, often manipulating the surgical tools from a computer console some distance from the patient. With names like da Vinci, Aquabeam, and Mako, robotic surgical technologies are becoming more common. As an example, industry powerhouse Intuitive reported in late 2021 that the number of surgical procedures using its robotic da Vinci system had topped 10 million globally [1].

    Abstract When the Voyager 1 spacecraft was hurtling past Neptune to points beyond, its camera swung back to snap an image of Earth, a tiny spot of light in the vast, dark expanse. That 1990 image offered a stark reminder of just how vulnerable our planet is. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) remains focused on space exploration today, but is also providing an Earth-side role, notably in understanding climate change and how it affects human health, and in inspiring new research and products to help people cope with varying weather patterns and the threats they bring.

    Abstract Microscopes have come a very long way since the 1600s when Henry Power, Robert Hooke, and Anton van Leeuwenhoek began publishing the first views of plant cells and bacteria. The major inventions of contrast, electron, and scanning tunneling microscopes didn't arrive until the 20th century, and the men behind them all earned Nobel Prizes in physics for their efforts. Today, innovations in microscopy are coming at a fast and furious rate with new technologies providing first-time views and information about biological structures and activity, and opening up new avenues for disease therapies.

    Abstract In Late January 2023, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) launched a new center designed to accelerate biomedical discovery and therapeutics, in part by pulling together expert, multidisciplinary teams from throughout the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to quickly respond when national or global health crises strike. The inaugural director of this Center for BME Technology Acceleration, or BETA Center, is biomedical engineer Manu Platt, Ph.D., (Figure 1) who is also taking on the role of NIBIB associate director for scientific diversity, equity, and inclusion. Platt previously held appointments as professor, Wallace H. Coulter distinguished faculty fellow, and diversity director of the Center on Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems and Cellular Manufacturing and Technologies at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University.
