Hemoflow - Blood Flow Monitoring Non-Invasive Device
Hemoflow is a non-invasive device that helps doctors save lives by providing real time and trending blood flow monitoring of injured limbs.
Collect Hemodynamics Data
Hemoflow is placed on the injured limb at the ankle or wrist. Light emitters & detectors are used to collect 32 data points a second.
Run Diagnostic Algorithm
The data collected is run through our proprietary software & deep learning artificial intelligence to determine the hemodynamics in the limb.
Display Outputs
The outputs of our diagnostic engine are displayed in a user interface for physicians to make key recommendations for a patient.
The Problem
Monitoring perfusion and the nuances of hemodynamics in the extremity is incredibly difficult for caregivers. One of these such ailments is Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS). ACS occurs when the tissue pressure within a muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure resulting in the crushing of veins and nerves in the limb. This is commonly caused by fractures, burns, and other trauma related injuries to limbs.
How is ACS diagnosed today?
The current standard of care is inserting a 16 gauge needle into the muscle compartment every few hours to monitor the pressure over time. Many physicians consider this tool inaccurate and barbaric.
What happens after ACS is diagnosed?
An emergency fasciotomy must be performed on the patient. A fasciotomy is a highly invasive surgical procedure where the muscle compartment is cut open to relieve tension and pressure.
What are the outcomes using the current method?
Patients are often too quickly recommended for emergency fasciotomies. The US Department of Defense estimates that 85% of conducted fasciotomies are perfromed unnecessarily.
