  • Patent number: 11439356
    Abstract: Provided are conformable devices to measure subdermal fluid flow and related methods. A soft, stretchable and flexible substrate supports a thermal actuator and various specially positioned temperature sensors. A microprocessor in electronic communication with sensors calculates subdermal fluid flow from the measured upstream and downstream temperatures, as well as various application-dependent parameters. Devices and methods provided herein are particularly useful for measuring cerebral spinal fluid in a ventricular shunt placed for treatment of hydrocephalus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2022
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022
    Assignee: NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: John A. Rogers, Siddharth Krishnan, Tyler R. Ray, Amit B. Ayer, Philipp Gutruf, Jonathan T. Reeder, Kun Hyuck Lee, Chun-Ju Su
