Bringing innovations from the OR to the seafloor
Scientists at UConn are investigating how a sensor they developed to help oral surgeons gauge patients’ pain levels could be used to predict seizures in deep-sea divers — a significant health concern for the U.S. Navy. The technology is widely adaptable and has the potential to detect other types of problems before they cause damage, from neuropathy in diabetics to fatigue in surgeons.
