Two devices in one: Metasurface could bring medical imaging to smaller sensors

Health technology can be useful, but it becomes risky when people mistake consumer sensors for medical devices. The key is understanding what the data actually shows and what it doesn’t.

Reporting

Medical Xpress reports that Two devices in one: Metasurface could bring medical imaging to smaller sensors. Researchers have developed a technology for building more compact point-of-care medical imaging devices by creating a material that acts as two devices in one. The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
