Each segment will focus on a different Mount Sinai research initiative for the treatment of various life-threatening conditions and diseases. The series will begin airing on Science Channel and its social media platforms later this month.
The segments will cover:
- A “digital spinal cord” comprising a microscopic device implanted on the brain to transmit signals and control an exoskeleton or artificial limbs.
- Efforts to implement a new imaging agent and method for the diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in living patients with a history of concussions.
- High-tech pop-up Lab100, where data scientists and engineers are combining artificial intelligence, robotics, genomic sequencing, wearable devices and more to individualize the patient experience during medical appointments.
- The development of new technology-based solutions for individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries who need improved access to healthcare.
- Studies of molecular and neurochemical reactions in the brain to understand whether cannabinoids can provide long-lasting therapeutic effects for individuals with opioid addiction.
- The first “digital therapeutic” depression treatment, an app that asks users to identify pictures of faces displaying certain emotions and has been proven in a clinical study to significantly reduce users’ major depressive disorder symptoms.
