Blood flow sensor.
Early detection of decreased blood flow would lead to less morbidity.
Brain blood flow sensor discovery could aid treatments for high blood pressure and dementia.
But an experimental sensor that clings to skin like a temporary tattoo could enable 24 hour monitoring of blood flow wherever a patient goes.
The sensor monitors the flow of blood through an artery and can warn a patient s doctor if there is a blockage.
The sensor would help surgeons to monitor blood flow across vascular anastomoses continuously after surgery.
It is biodegradable battery free and wireless so it is compact.
Furthermore it could eliminate costly monitoring tests decrease frequent subjective human evaluations and limit time consuming clinic visits.
Measurement of blood flow is critical in many medical specialties so a wireless biodegradable sensor could impact multiple fields including.
