$1.9 million awarded to create device that will reduce death from bleeding - EurekAlert


The team is designing a mobile device that can detect blood pressure waveforms, which correlate with the volume of blood within the blood vessels, the “intravascular volume,” and can be used to determine if blood volume is falling due to hemorrhaging. This will enable first responders and hospital staff to get more accurate readings earlier and respond with better timed and more precisely calibrated care.
