UAE University created advanced non-surgical blood flow monitor

Why in news?

  • Researchers at the United Arab Emirates University have created an advanced technology for monitoring blood flow without surgery using piezoelectric pressure sensors.

About Non-Surgical Blood Flow Monitor:

  • Non-surgical blood flow monitor is a device that has the ability to measure and monitor blood flow inside the body without any incision.

Features:

  • Non-invasive technology:
    • No surgery or insertion of equipment inside the body is required.
  • Advanced sensor based system:
    • Use of materials (eg: piezoelectric materials) that generate electric fields on mechanical stress.
    • This technology can measure the speed, viscosity and direction of blood flow.
  • Real-time monitoring:
    • Helpful in detecting problems like blood clots in time.
  • Accurate and cost-effective:
    • More accurate, and low-cost system compared to traditional technologies.
  • Clinical and home use:
    • Suitable for patient care in hospitals and for health monitoring at home.

Development and research:

  • Scientists at UAE University have recently successfully developed this technology.
  • The project was led by Professor Mahmoud Al Ahmad and trained 4 graduate students in the research.

Future prospects:

  • Equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), it will be made more accurate and automated.
  • This technology encourages indigenous innovation in the healthcare sector and reduces dependence on imports.
