Bioengineers create portable tool to spot preterm birth risk
Biomedical engineers at Florida International University have built a portable imaging device designed to detect early signs of preterm labor risk in about five seconds. The system, called PPRIM (Portable Preterm Imaging), could flag risk up to three months earlier than current screening methods.
