A bionic pancreas system improved blood glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes better than conventional insulin pump therapy. NIH is planning larger and longer studies to further assess the benefits & risks of the automated system. http://go.usa.gov/x9mSP

By following 60 people through their everyday lives, NIBIB-funded researchers at Stanford found that smart watches and other personal biosensor devices can help flag when people have colds and even signal the onset of complex conditions like Lyme disease and diabetes. Learn more at ScienceDaily:
Wearable biosensors can flag illness, Lyme disease, risk for diabetes; low airplane oxygen
Can your smart watch detect when you are becoming sick? A new study indicates that this is possible. By following 60 people through their everyday lives, researchers found that smart watches and other personal biosensor devices can help flag when people have colds and even signal the onset of complex conditions like Lyme disease and diabetes.

After a stroke, patients typically have trouble walking and few are able to regain the gait they had before suffering a stroke. Researchers funded by NIBIB have developed a computational walking model that could help guide patients to their best possible recovery after a stroke. Learn more at NIBIB:

For the seventh year in a row, U.S. News and World Report ranked the NIH-developed DASH Diet “best overall” diet. With its focus on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean proteins, the diet also ranked as the best for healthy eating, and tied as the best for heart disease prevention. http://1.usa.gov/1ObH5OD

Tattoos aren’t just for body art. They can have medical applications, too. Doctors are using them on patients to mark an area for future treatment — particularly for non-melanoma skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma — but the inks can cause problems. Now NIBIB-funded scientists have developed a better solution. Learn more at ACS:

The bacteria in this photo have self-organized into a sticky, mat-like colony called a biofilm, which allows them to cooperate with each other, adapt to changes in their environment, and ensure their survival. Learn more at the NIH Director's Blog:

Millions of Americans now head out the door each day wearing devices that count their steps, check their heart rates, and help them stay fit in general. But with further research, these “wearables” could also play an important role in the early detection of serious medical conditions. Learn more at the NIH Director's Blog:
