Ultrasound sticker warning of stroke and heart disease
San Diego: Whether it’s a heart attack or a stroke, timely treatment is crucial to preventing a stroke and saving lives. An ultrasound sticker has now been developed.
Sheng Zu, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, cut the thin elastic polymer into 12-millimeter-wide and long pieces that emit ultrasound waves. It is currently processed by a computer by attaching a wire to a chest or neck, but the next model could be wireless.
In the first experiment, ultrasound waves reached five and a half inches deep in the skin. In the second method, many ultrasound waves were thrown at different angles. This is how the ultrasound background of a large part of the body came to light. In this way the sound waves pass through the blood vessels and reach the blood cells, then return from there and return to the sticker through the same path.
Thus, the sound echoes from different parts of the body hide blood flow, blood pressure, tissue health and heart conditions. This way the doctor can immediately detect any alarming changes in the heart and its veins.
It has been tested on many patients and has shown excellent results similar to conventional ultrasound. The results may vary depending on the behavior of the average person, but the patch has no role to play in this disorder.
The revolutionary sticker provides instant awareness of stroke and heart disease.
