FIU’s Jessica Ramella-Roman has received a patent for using optical technologies to identify preterm labor. The system is non-invasive and does not require expensive elements. It can be integrated with common tools found in an OB-GYN’s office.
“I’m beyond excited for this patent," says Ramella-Roman. "It’s great to have recognition, and I’ve always thought that conducting research that may help other human beings is a valuable way to spend your life and career. Light has so many properties and can be used to see so many different things in the human body.”
