Feasibility of Wearable Cerebral Oximetry to Monitor Primary and Secondary TBI in Austere Military Environments
The research will be conducted by a team of undergraduate students from NC State University and include a design, build, test, and evaluate cycle.
This proposal aims to design and build a prototype of a somatic and cerebral oximetry device using functional near-infrared spectroscopy for the monitoring of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, both from primary and secondary injury. This project will be conducted by a team of undergraduate students from NC State and will involve a design, build, test, and evaluate cycle. The outcome of this project is a deployable prototype to monitor TBI patients.
