Japanese researchers have unveiled an AI-based technology which, they say, can help monitor platelet activity in the blood in real time.
As part of the work, the researchers found that blood drawn from veins in the arm can provide vital information about platelet activity in arteries.
The technology involves a frequency-division multiplexed microscope – which takes sharp pictures of blood in motion, capturing thousands of images a second. The AI system then analyses this, identifying aggregates of platelets and different blood cells.
Researcher Yuqi Zhou, an assistant professor of chemistry at University of Tokyo, said: “Just like traffic cameras capture every car on the road, our microscope captures thousands of images of blood cells in...
