Ischemic stroke, which accounts for 87% of all strokes, occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is obstructed. Rapid identification is essential to for effective interventions. Current stroke assessments by first responders lack sufficient accuracy and reliability, which results in delays and poor outcomes. There is an unmet need to develop rapid, portable, low cost sensors to objectively detect ischemic strokes. |
This project with Medtronic will assess and evaluate the potential of using Prof Khine’s capacitive based Band-aid like hemodynamic monitors to detect and monitor ischemic strokes. The team will assemble and assess the existing standard of care and new potential technologies (e.g. ultrasound, impedance, and EEG). Students will develop a stroke model and test the sensors for effectiveness. Redesigns and user-interface improvements may also be done. |
