Graduate Research
Spectrophotometric technologies to diagnose and accurately monitor vital physiological status non invasively, represent a growing area of interest mainly because they provide a safe, simple, fast and real-time assessment of different medical conditions. Simple and cost effective diagnostic methods utilizing novel physiological sensors, which would provide clinicians with continuous and reliable real-time information in critical medical situations, are being researched at WPI in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
