New Jersey cardiologists have tested a wrist-worn sensor developed by RCE Technologies Inc. that employs infrared light to continuously detect and instantly measure blood levels of troponin. This protein, released when heart muscle is damaged, is usually measured as a snapshot via a blood draw in the emergency room that can take nearly an hour make the diagnosis of a heart attack. The new wrist sensor uses bluetooth to continuously transmit data to cloud-based computers that use AI to determine a troponin level. A Rutgers University study of 239 patients with suspected heart attacks showed that the wristband determined troponin levels with a 90% accuracy when compared with conventional blood testing. This technology can also be adapted to other circulating biomarkers permitting rapid emergency diagnosis of several disorders. Expect commercialization of this technology.
