A Portable Optical Device for Assessing Platelet Aggregation Activity

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A portable device for point-of-care testing of native human blood has been developed. The device operation is based on digital speckle pattern correlation. This study is a continuation of a series of reports on the use of the digital speckle pattern correlation method for analysis of the functional state of the hemostasis system. We show that native blood can be analyzed using the laser speckle pattern correlation method for qualitative assessment of the state of the hemostasis system and for determination of platelet aggregation time. Results obtained using the device prototype are compared with results obtained using the Mednord low-frequency piezothromboelastograph (NPTEG).
