UAE University Researchers Pioneer Non-Invasive Blood Flow Monitoring Technology

Researchers at the United Arab Emirates University have unveiled a state-of-the-art, non-invasive blood flow monitoring technology that uses a piezoelectric pressure sensor. This innovation depends on particular material that produces electric fields in response to mechanical stress – enabling the accurate measurement of important physical indicators such as blood flow velocity and viscosity.  

According to the official statement of the university, the latest version of this technique provides better accuracy, real-time data monitoring and cost-effectiveness, which makes it suitable for both clinical and home-based applications. In particular, it can aid in the initial detection of serious conditions such as blood clots. 

Project supervisor Professor Mahmood Al Ahmed said, “Our goal is to increase existing techniques to make them more accurate and accessible, eventually both patients and healthcare professionals can be benefited.” He also said that the project provided training on valuable hands to four graduate students. Future plans involve integrating artificial intelligence to further improve functionality and to broaden its applications. 

This innovation supports the UAE’s extensive goal of pursuing local medical technology, reducing dependence on imported equipment and promoting knowledge-based economy. It represents a major step towards making healthcare more equitable and is more economical worldwide.
