A new generation of biosensors is transforming how we monitor health—by stretching with the body and sensing multiple signals in real time. Scientists have developed highly flexible biosensors that detect sweat pH, electrolyte levels, and electromyography (EMG) signals simultaneously. Their secret lies in a hybrid microstructure (HMS) that combines wave-like flexibility with microcrack stress dispersion, ensuring both durability and precision. Even under 60% strain or after 5000 stretching cycles, the sensors retain electrical stability. Coated with conductive polymers, the devices provide continuous and accurate feedback, making them ideal for next-level wearable technologies in personalized health monitoring.

Sepsis is a serious condition that arises due to an improper immune response of the body to an infection. It is characterized by simultaneous unbalanced hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. Though sepsis can have severe impact on patients of all ages, studies on elderly and octogenarian patients remain limited. Now, researchers have explored the immune profile in elderly and octogenarian patients with sepsis. The study reveals that continuous decrease in CD3⁺ T-cells is associated with higher mortality.

It’s well known that alcohol misuse can harm not only drinkers themselves but also those around them. Now, a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs shows that, among college students, harms such as lower grades, mental distress and even suicidal thoughts are linked to being exposed to a drinker’s poor behavior.

Tailored exercise programs, vitamin D supplements, and better nutrition are proven to help prevent falls in aged care homes reveals a new study from Flinders University.

A major international review led by Flinders University and published by the Cochrane Collaboration analysed data from 104 clinical trials involving nearly 69,000 older people living in care facilities across 25 countries to explore how to reduce falls.
