New Applications for Technology: Aneurysm Detection and Allergy-Free Food

The video discusses a new application of technology by the Warwick team to address medical challenges. It explains aneurysms, particularly aortic aneurysms, and the use of photoelasticity to measure artery strain without adding stress. The video also covers food allergies, highlighting common allergens and the difficulty of avoiding them. It presents research on using high-frequency sound waves to neutralize allergenic proteins in sesame seeds, achieving a 95% success rate without altering the seeds' properties.
