7. PhotoniCare Looks Behind Ear Drums to Help Diagnose Ear Infections
  
  Explore Medgadget.com Jun 25 2019 Otolaryngology , Other Business News
  
  Middle ear infections are one of the most common reasons for visits to the pediatrician. However, because the middle ear is hidden from view by the ear drum, physicians must diagnose based on symptoms and a limited physical exam — and when patients have ambiguous or borderline symptoms, accurate diagnosis can be challenging. PhotoniCare’s TOMi Scope uses near-infrared light waves to provide 3D views beyond the ear drum into the middle ear, allowing physicians to visualize and better diagnose middle ear infections. Co-founder and CEO Ryan Shelton, Ph.D. answered a few of our questions about his company’s beginnings ...

  Objects made with 3D printing can be lighter, stronger, and more complex than those produced through traditional manufacturing methods. But several technical challenges must be overcome before 3D printing transforms the production of most devices. ADVERTISEMENT Commercially available printers generally offer only high-speed, high-precision, or high-quality materials. Rarely do they offer all three, limiting their usefulness as a manufacturing tool. Today, 3D printing is used mainly for prototyping and low-volume production of specialized parts. Now Inkbit, a startup out of MIT, is working to bring all of the benefits of 3D printing to a slew of products that have never ...
