‘Artsens’
IIT Madras develops device to assess blood vessels
- Researchers of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a novel, noninvasive device to assess the health and age of blood vessels, and thereby provide early screening for cardiovascular diseases.
- The device, known as Artsens, is designed in such a way that it can be used in the routine medical examination even by non-expert, to assess and predict vascular health. It is developed by the Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre at IIT Madras.
- The device can assess the effect of molecular and protein level changes in the blood vessel wall caused due to disease and ageing, by measuring the material property in a completely non-invasive and accurate manner.
