Spectral Illumination Device Using Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Arrays
OPPORTUNITYReflectance and Fluorescence imaging are used in numerous medical and research applications, specifically endoscopic cancer screening. White light endoscopy (WLE) is the standard approach for colon cancer screening. However, traditional WLE relies on native tissue contrast (reflectance), and lacks specificity. Autofluorescence imaging (AFI)...

Leads to Assess Accurate Neonate Heart Rate in the Delivery Room
OPPORTUNITY Ten percent (10%) of births require some form of neonate resuscitation. Heart rate (HR) is the most important clinical indicator to evaluate the status of a newborn, and it is also used to guide resuscitation efforts. Immediately after birth, the infant’s HR must be assessed as accurately and quickly as possible to determine if any...
