Peripheral arterial diseases and new measurement methods
Session description:
This session presents the development of a camera-based system for measuring spatial skin perfusion, aimed at the early diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). PAD, prevalent in older adults, is characterized by arterial blockages in the extremities, leading to walking difficulties and an increased risk of coronary heart disease. The proposed screening tool not only facilitates early diagnosis of PAD but also offers potential applications in monitoring and assessing other perfusion-related conditions.
Through two scientific talks, from the medical and the engineering perspective, and a panel discussion, we promote interdisciplinary collaboration between medical professionals, engineers, and patients to drive healthcare innovation.

Panel Discussion:
Perfusion Screening and Disease Management - Uniting Expertise for better PAD outcomes

Parts of this event will be held in German.
