Easy-to-Use Portable Device Quickly Measures Vital Signs

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed, novel hand-held device with sensors that quickly test a patient’s blood pressure, blood oxygen, breathing rate, heart rate, and heartbeat pattern. Updated versions of the prototype could replace hospital vital sign monitors and could gather more data than is typically collected during medical assessment in an ambulance, emergency room, doctor’s office, or patient’s home.  More...
