Most current clinical trials in the US are tracked through clinicaltrials.gov website. If we look at the top 10,000 titles and do an analysis of the most commonly used words that are utilized in the titles then you get an interesting perspective on what are the studies that are being done currently.
Note that many trials seem to target cancer and most of them look for safety and efficacy

A very sensitive vibration sensor
Vibration sensing is important for sensing failure of instrumentation or found sound and vibration measurements. Technology for detecting sound has existed for a long time and usually employs a variety of microphones. However, vibration is difficult to measure easily. There have been many reports of utilization of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based technology such as this…

Even with E.coli and M.tuberculosis we only know ½ of them. Can you use ML model to define function: as natural language, or molecular interaction or chemical reaction. Function as molecular interaction: protein – protein interaction. Genomics: Learn association between genes (just like words). It is called gLM2. A multi-modal single residue resolution gLM. GLM2…
Brain computer interface
Nicolelis’s lab has been working on the brain machine interface. The interface will obviously help many paraplegics but could be a boost for many neurological disorders. The lab has produced monkeys that can control objects using just their brains without any motor function. Recently, they created a mouse that though could not see infrared light…
Small convenient medical devices
The thinking is that sophisticated devices are needed for some biomarker studies and medicine. However, it is relatively simple to build some devices thought complicated with materials that are commonly available in electronic shops. For example, measurement of alcohol used to require sophisticated gas chromatography. With commonly available sensors, like a “MQ3 gas sensor” available…

Measuring gait
Recently we have been studying human walking and trying to understand its various components.Human walking seems so simple as shown in the video below by phsiotutors, but is a very complex activity. It involves multiple muscle movements coordinated into a seamless activity that is a balancing act on two legs accompanied by forward motion. Walking…
