A novel research instrument for measuring vascular health

Vascular health is an important measure of well-being. While current commercial methods measure some parameters of vascular health, more advanced technologies are required to precisely monitor health and vascular diseases. Vascular diseases affect blood flow, making it a critical measure of vascular health.

The platform we are developing is based on Diffusion Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS), which measures blood flow and offers several advantages over existing technologies. It provides sensitivity on a single photon level, thus offering greater penetration depth and making it suitable for monitoring blood flow in deeper organs and tissues.

Additionally, it provides higher temporal resolution, making it well-suited for capturing rapid changes in blood flow, such as those occurring during physiological responses or interventions.

The commercial benefits of this novel platform for advanced blood flow visualization and comprehensive hemodynamic measurements are substantial and far-reaching, including innovation, medical devices, personal health monitoring, healthcare services, and pharmaceuticals. The platform will be openly available for academic and industrial users.
