Deans' stroke musings: Needleless sensor patch aims to replace frequent bloodwork

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Needleless sensor patch aims to replace frequent bloodwork

Now all they have to do is monitor INR readings for those on warfarin and you could have a running tally of it rather than the stupid two week blood draws. And getting cholesterol levels so you could see on a daily basis what your eating habits do.
Does anyone know how to contact Sano to suggest these items?

What if people who have a condition that requires frequent bloodwork could have continuous access to their basic metabolic panel readings without ever having to be poked by a needle?

Early-stage startup Sano Intelligence is taking this concept and running with it, developing a transdermal sensor patch that its founders think could continuously monitor metabolic panels and deliver that data to software platforms or mobile devices.

Founded by Raj Gokal and Ashwin Pushpala — and springboarding off a college project Pushpala worked on — Sano Intelligence is hoping to provide digitalized blood chemistry information to patients and providers through a variety of applications. The original idea was intended for use in diabetes patients, but the founders said they have decided instead to focus on less crowded spaces in healthcare.

Gokal and Pushpala will participate in the Rock Health acceleration program this spring.
