Ischemic Stroke Detection Biosensor
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerEach year 795,000 Americans suffer from a stroke, 87% of them being ischemic where a blood clot travels from the heart to the brain causing irreparable damage. The potentially fatal consequences of these strokes could be avoided with early detection and removal of the clot. The team developed phantom models of the neck and carotid artery for testing. Artificial blood and clots were pumped through the model, and an ultrasound probe connected to a computer running a computer vision algorithm was used to detect them. This proof of concept shows that a wearable device could be created to preemptively detect ischemic strokes for at risk patients.
