Research Highlights
NONINVASIVE IDENTIFICATION OF NEONATAL ISCHEMIA USING BROADBAND OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY
In a first-in-human trial, we are pioneering the application of a newly developed noninvasive infrared light reflectance technology known as broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS) as a method of identifying neonatal ischemia. BOS leverages the fact the cellular byproducts of ischemia are dark chromophores that absorb both visible and infrared light to take a measurement of internal organs through skin in order to detect the onset of diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
