New optical fiber tech monitors brain health markers, aiding early detection in traumatic brain injury patients.

Researchers have created an optical fiber system that can monitor six key biomarkers linked to brain health, potentially revolutionizing the monitoring of patients with traumatic brain injuries. The system uses small, light-sensitive fibers to detect changes in biomarkers like temperature, pH, and glucose levels, helping doctors identify impending secondary injuries. This technology could improve patient outcomes by facilitating early detection and management of complications following brain trauma.
