Sleep breathing
11 November, 2025
There is increasing evidence that routine lung-function tests could play a role in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a common but frequently undetected sleep disorder. OSA occurs when the upper airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, interrupting breathing, lowering blood oxygen levels, and fragmenting sleep. Left untreated, OSA has been linked to raised blood pressure, metabolic problems, and in some cases, sudden death during sleep. A review of existing research in the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics highlights how flow-volume curves, a standard output from pulmonary function tests (PFTs), may provide a simpler and more accessible route to identifying the condition. The current diagnostic standard, polysomnography, involves overnight monitoring in a specialist laboratory and requires sophisticated equipment and trained personnel, limiting access and creating long waiting lists. Whereas the more modern approach is much simpler and far more accessible [...]

13 November, 2025
A wireless, portable incubator that could transform care for premature infants is reported in the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics^. It offers remote monitoring and automated environmental control to reduce the demands on hospital staff... The new incubator integrates heating, a fan, humidity and temperature sensors, and an ultraviolet light for treating jaundice, all managed through an inexpensive Arduino UNO microcontroller. By using a dedicated Android app, healthcare staff can monitor and adjust conditions from up to 30 metres away, consolidating multiple functions onto a single interface. This remote operation reduces the risk of human error while allowing a single nurse to manage several critical parameters simultaneously [...]
