Researchers at University of Galway and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a new, intelligent medical device which senses its environment and can adapt to release drugs as required, despite surrounding scar tissue.

The academics detailed the breakthrough in medtech that could lead to intelligent, long-lasting, tailored treatment for patients thanks to soft robotics and artificial intelligence.

The University of Galway-MIT research team originally developed first-generation flexible devices, known as soft robotic implants, to improve drug delivery and reduce fibrosis.
