Echopoint Medical Ltd, founded by Prof @Adrien_Desjard, uses a small camera that can fit on the point of a needle and can image inside a live beating heart! #ValentinesDay (@UCLmedphys & @Health_Eng) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/healthcare-engineering/news/2019/sep/echopoint-raises-ps28m-address-grey-zone-heart-disease-treatment …

Researchers in @uclmecheng & @Health_Eng (team led by Prof Gaetano Burriesci) are working on aortic valve replacement, aka ways to “repair hearts”, to improve patient safety. #ValentinesDay https://www.ucl.ac.uk/healthcare-engineering/case-studies/2020/jan/retrievable-aortic-valve-replacement-could-improve-patient-safety …

Ever heard of love at first sight? #ValentinesDay @WEISS researchers use imaging and neurofeedback training to see what areas of your #brain light up when you think about certain things: in short, what’s really going on inside your head! https://www.ucl.ac.uk/healthcare-engineering/news/2019/jan/brain-training-can-alter-how-we-see-world …

This year's #ValentinesDay is unusual – physical distancing means we must find ways to stay socially connected. The Age Innovation Hub (@HealthEng) is looking at how technology can support social connections and prevent loneliness. https://ageinnovationhub.crowdicity.com/category/220228 

The Optical Communications lab (@UCL_ICCS ) was one of the first to reopen back in July. Optical networks allow us to virtually stay in touch with our loved ones this #ValentinesDay while maintaining physical distancing. Got any good Zoom date ideas? https://www.ucl.ac.uk/iccs/news/2020/jul/iccs-members-return-lab-following-national-lockdown …

'Cuz every time we touch I get this feeling...’ but why? #ValentinesDay Lack of touch can be devastating, particularly for people with prosthetic limbs. Hear from Dr @H_Wurdemann about robotic limbs that make the feeling of touch possible. https://soundcloud.com/uclsound/madeatucl-podcasts-touch …
