Dialog Devices Limited Uses Opto-Electronics To Measure Blood Supply

Dialog Devices Limited is a medical devices company that has developed the first fully automated, non-invasive apparatus for assessment of blood supply to the lower limb and foot without the need of a pressure cuff. The company platform uses advanced opto-electronics to view under the skin with natural light and can measure changes in blood supply. The technology is used under conditions where there is a large change in blood pressure, such as a postural change, thereby detecting if adequate blood is supplied to the foot when needed. Individuals suffering from peripheral arterial disease where there is a deficiency in sufficient blood to the extremities are at high risk of heart attack and stroke.

Development of accurate, fully automated diagnostics is essential for streamlining and facilitating the identification of diseases, which is essential for improving health care overall. Dialog Devices has developed the first fully automated, non-invasive apparatus for assessment of blood supply to the extremities, serving as a valuable diagnostic for peripheral artery disease that serves as a critical indicator of stroke and heart attack risk.
