About Abdosense
AbdoSense offers a non-invasive, reliable alternative for monitoring intra-abdominal pressure. Using a patch method with a strain gauge sensor, which detects minute changes in abdominal wall tension which gives signals when optimal range of intra abdominal pressure is crossed.
Our Team
We are a dynamic team of UG & PG medical students, engineer, and product designer. United by our passion for healthcare innovation, we blend clinical expertise, pharmaceutical insights, engineering creativity, and design excellence to transform invasive intra-abdominal pressure monitoring to non invasive.
Our Problem
01
The Critical Importance of IAP Monitoring
Timely monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is crucial in the post-operative period following extensive abdominal surgeries to prevent intra-abdominal hypertension and its impact on vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, and heart. Continuous IAP monitoring allows for prompt intervention, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing complications.
02
Limitations of Current Monitoring Methods
Current methods for monitoring IAP are invasive, time consuming and cumbersome, often requiring skilled personnel that may not be readily available in healthcare settings. These techniques can cause discomfort and pose risks to patients, making it challenging for healthcare providers to monitor IAP continuously and accurately.
03
Our Vision for an Innovative Solution
To address these challenges, we aim to develop a non-invasive, and continuous monitoring device for IAP that is user-friendly and cost effective. This innovative solution will enhance the ease and speed of IAP monitoring in healthcare settings, enabling healthcare professionals to make timely decisions and ultimately improve patient outcomes. ​
Our Solution : Abdosense
Innovative Patch, Healthy Abdomen.
01
Innovative Non-Invasive Technology
AbdoSense uses a strain gauge sensor integrated into a wearable patch. This sensor detects subtle changes in abdominal wall tension, allowing for continuous intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring without the need for invasive catheters or complex procedures.
02
Real-Time Continuous Monitoring
Unlike current intermittent methods, AbdoSense provides real-time continuous readings of IAP, enabling healthcare professionals to make timely and informed decisions. Continuous monitoring ensures early detection of any rise in pressure, facilitating rapid intervention to prevent complications like abdominal compartment syndrome, etc.
03
Ease of Use and Integration
Designed with simplicity in mind, AbdoSense is user-friendly and requires minimal setup, making it ideal for busy ICU environments. Its intuitive interface and automated alerts streamline the monitoring process, reducing the workload on medical staff and enhancing overall efficiency in patient care.
04
Enhanced Patient Comfort and Safety
By eliminating the need for invasive procedures, AbdoSense significantly reduces patient discomfort and the risk of infections associated with invasive techniques. This non-invasive approach improves patient safety, making IAP monitoring more accessible and reliable across healthcare settings.
How Abdosense works?
Non-Invasive Patch Application
AbdoSense features a specially designed patch embedded with a sensitive strain gauge sensor. The patch is comfortably placed on the abdominal wall, allowing it to detect minute changes in tension caused by variations in intra-abdominal pressure.
Data Processing and Analysis
The sensor sends the data to a small processing unit, where it is analyzed in real time using advanced algorithms. The system filters out noise and correlates the measurements with established IAP values, providing healthcare professionals with reliable pressure readings.
Real-Time Pressure Detection
The strain gauge sensor measures the abdominal wall's distension , converting these physical changes into electrical signals. These signals accurately reflect the internal pressure changes without needing invasive procedures.
Continuous Monitoring and Alerts
AbdoSense continuously tracks intra-abdominal pressure, displaying the readings on an intuitive interface that can be accessed by healthcare providers. If the pressure exceeds optimal range, the system alarms, prompting immediate action and timely intervention to prevent complications.
