Rising high school juniors and seniors, this is your last opportunityto submityour biomedical engineering research, innovations and original ideas for the BMES2026 High School Poster Expo, taking place Saturday, October 24, during the BMES Annual Meeting.
A century ago, managing diabetes could mean boiling urine and making an educated guess. Today, continuous glucose monitors can track glucose levels every few minutes and send the information directly to a smartphone, a transformation made possible by biomedical engineering. American Health Discovery is highlighting the story behind the continuous glucose monitor and the engineers and innovations that helped change diabetes care.

From the BMES Journal Annals of Biomedical Engineering:
By Marta Liberotti, Anna Palmisano, Alberto Colombo, Davide Vignale, Federica Piccione, Marco Bruno Ancona, Matteo Montorfano & Antonio Esposito
Aortic Stenosis (AS) involves progressive fibrocalcific degeneration of the aortic valve. Current imaging methods for valve tissue quantification remain semi-automated and lack detailed spatial tissue characterization. We present a CT-based pipeline that fully automates the quantification of fibrotic and calcific components and enables semi-automated regional tissue analysis. Read More
