Miniature implanted devices could treat epilepsy, glaucoma

Researchers at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering have developed new miniature devices that can be implanted in the brain to predict and prevent epileptic seizures and a nanotech sensor to go in the eye to treat glaucoma.

The findings of their research will be detailed in three research papers being presented at the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society's Sciences and Technologies for Health conference from Aug. 23-26 in Lyon, France. UNS has the full story
