A System for Non-invasive Assessment of Blood Hemoglobin Level in Screening Tests

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A system for rapid (1-2 min) non-invasive assessment of blood hemoglobin with a sensitivity and a negative predictive value of 81% and 96%, respectively, was developed. The system was tested in a group of patients with various pathologies. The optimal screening time was determined.
