A team of engineers and scientists from Caltech and the Keck School of Medicine at USC has created a noninvasive, headset-based device that can assess a patient’s stroke risk.
The device uses infrared laser light to assess brain blood flow through a technique called speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) The researchers hope the device will not only prescreen for stroke risk but also help pinpoint the location of strokes within the brain.
