Abstract: A wearable monitor is configured for early detection of internal bleeding events and particularly hematomas after vascular catheterization including cardiac catheterization. The wearable monitor is placed over an access location following the vascular catheterization procedure and the wearable monitor system periodically runs diagnostic test to detect changes in the tissue around the vascular access location. An emitter device may input an emitter input into the tissue and a detector device may then measure the emitter input after it has passed through the tissue, an emitter output. A computer may receive the data from the detector device and operate a program that determines changes in the tissue and in particular, pooling of blood in the tissue. The emitters may be electrodes that input an electromagnetic input, or an ultrasound emitter that inputs ultrasound sound waves, or a Near IR emitter that emits Near IR electromagnetic radiation.
