Abstract
- Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that can continuously monitor blood flow in the brain. The patch, which is soft and stretchy, can be comfortably worn on the temple and provides three-dimensional data on cerebral blood flow. This technology is a significant improvement over the current clinical standard, as it eliminates the need for a trained technician to hold an ultrasound probe against the patient's head. The patch offers a hands-free, consistent, and comfortable solution that can be worn continuously during a patient's hospital stay. [Extracted from the article]
