Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention introduces a
wearable system designed to monitor blood coagulation without the need for
invasive procedures. By utilizing optical sensing methods, the device can
detect and analyze blood flow characteristics through the skin. The system is
intended to provide real-time feedback on coagulation status, offering a more
comfortable and accessible alternative to traditional blood tests. It is
particularly suited for individuals requiring frequent monitoring, such as
those undergoing anticoagulation therapy.
Technical Details: The UCF invention includes a wearable sensor that emits
light and detects its interaction with blood flow beneath the skin. Collected
data is transmitted wirelessly to a controller, such as a smartphone or
dedicated device, where it is processed to extract relevant indicators. The
system is designed to operate in various modes to optimize signal quality and
adapt to different users and conditions. Advanced signal processing techniques
are employed to enhance measurement reliability.
Benefit
Non-Invasive Monitoring: Eliminates the need for blood draws, improving patient comfort. Continuous Assessment: Enables real-time tracking of coagulation status. Remote Access: Supports wireless data transmission for remote healthcare monitoring. User-Friendly Design: Wearable form factor allows for convenient daily use.Market Application
Chronic Care Management: Supports patients on long-term anticoagulation therapy.Preventive Health: Enables early detection of coagulation abnormalities. Telemedicine: Facilitates remote diagnostics and monitoring. Home Healthcare: Empowers patients to manage their health outside clinical settings.
