Plenary #3 at @ASNKidney #KidneyWk on Wearable Devices for Fluid Management: nanomaterials for #KidneyHealth - Silicon integrated circuits

Devices mounted in the human body at different sites to monitor health status: different capabilities, minimally invasive (i.e. neonatal)
#WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney

Some approved by FDA, other already deployed outside the US

It is important to define How can we use them for #KidneyHealth … i.e. Blood Flow measurement to detect obstruction

Studies that already have lead to Breakthrough designation by FDA. Then used in other surfaces as the brain.

What about #KidneyHealth ? Use in Kidney Transplantation to monitor temperature and blood flow in the graft (animal models) #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney

Development of new Implantable Devices #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney

… other variables also can be measured #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney
Recharging is amazing!

Sweat can also provide a lot of information: Devices in the skin can provide important Information #Microfluids #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney

A medical applications can be monitoring Chloride for CF, hydration status, metabolites, #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney

It can be used in different conditions (i.e. swimming or during shower) #WearableDevices #KidneyWk @ASNKidney
