The enhanced version of this technology provides greater accuracy in interpretation and is more cost-effective, making it eligible for use in hospitals and home settings. In addition, the technology provides real-time data that can help detect conditions like blood clots.
Our goal is to improve an existing technology to make it more accurate and user-friendly, benefiting both patients and healthcare providers. It is worth mentioning that this project provided a training opportunity for four undergraduate students in scientific research. The team also plans to incorporate artificial intelligence technologies in the future to further enhance the system and expand its use.

Researchers from the United Arab Emirates University have developed a new technology for non-surgical blood flow monitoring using piezoelectric pressure sensors. The technology depends on special materials that generate electric fields when subjected to mechanical stress, helping to measure vital physiological parameters like blood flow velocity and viscosity, according to United Arab Emirates University statement.
