Aristide Dogariu of UCF has developed a monitor that provides instant blood analysis to alert surgeons if blood coagulation is happening. Current tests can take up to 30 minutes. The new monitor uses a small optical fiber to access the status of the blood.
“We developed a model that has been essentially confirmed by the experimental results that we have collected,” Dogariu said. “We had the measurements that appear to be quite sensitive to real transformations in the bloodstream, but now we can put numbers to those changes.”
