Rancho Park-based NovaSignal Corp., which makes technology to monitor blood flow inside the brain, announced Sept. 28 that it closed $37 million in a Series C1 funding round. Founded in 2013, ...

Monitoring the proper blood supply to the brain is crucial, not only to prevent neurological diseases but also to treat them. The parallel near-infrared interferometric spectroscopy technique, or ...

A wearable ultrasound patch could soon be saving lives, by monitoring the blood flow in hospital patients' brains. The device is only about the size of a postage stamp plus it works continuously, ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be a life-saving therapy for patients with acute heart or lung failure. During ECMO therapy, a patient's blood flows out of their veins through tubes and ...

A new study has demonstrated that a tiny bundle of optical fibers can continuously, accurately, and simultaneously measure six biomarkers of brain health, helping to prevent serious complications that ...

Researchers developed a wearable device that can be used for non-invasive stroke risk assessment. The device uses speckle contrast optical spectroscopy to track changes in blood flow and volume in the ...

Dr. Zsolt Garami, medical director of the vascular ultrasound lab at Houston Methodist Hospital, puts it very straightforward: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is one of the least understood, rarely ...

Despite all the attention on technologies that reduce the hands-on role of humans at work — such as self-driving vehicles, robot workers, artificial intelligence, and so on — researchers in the field ...
