Laser headband non-invasively IDs stroke risk in real time
A laser-driven device that offers instant feedback on a patient's stroke risk could revolutionize current difficult methods of accurate assessment and provide a portable, affordable and non-invasive way for clinicians to make life-saving interventions.
A laser-driven device that offers instant feedback on a patient's stroke risk could revolutionize current difficult methods of accurate assessment and provide a portable, affordable and non-invasive way for clinicians to make life-saving interventions. "With this device, for the first time, we are going to have a way of knowing if the risk of someone having a stroke in the future is significant or not based on a physiological measurement," said the study's co-lead author Simon Mahler, a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech. "This approach could one day be incorporated into the regular testing performed during annual physical examinations, providing physicians with crucial information about the patient's health," said Charles Liu from USC.
