Novel solutions for clinical monitoring of soft tissues
Abstract
The general goal is the development of electronic devices for clinical measurement of soft tissues. Specific result is a device for continuous monitoring of the condition of the heart muscle during heart surgery. Heart disease is the most common cause of death (WHO 2019, https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death). Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of advanced heart diseases, with a risk of damage to the muscle (of a stopped heart!) during surgery. Current heart protection methods are poorly controlled, as based on schemes developed by trial and error. The unique solution being created will ensure the real-time usage of protective solutions based on objective heart muscle indicators. The technology being created, also allows measuring of various other muscle, fat and connective tissues, and could also distinguish benign and malignant tissues. The solutions created use inventive electrical impedance spectroscopy technologies of TalTech.
