    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Peripheral vascular diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide and are often symptomless and undiagnosed. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and reducing personal and economic costs, particularly where early treatment is geared towards preventing lower extremity amputation. New diagnostic tools are needed to enable this earlier intervention. We have developed a new low-cost, easy to use, non-invasive hemodynamic monitor, HeMo, to address this large and growing problem. Using a novel combination of impedance tomography and electrical volumetric measurements we can calculate real-time changes in peripheral blood volume. We believe that this work will lead to the availability of a fast, easy to use and cost-effective vascular assessment tool, dramatically shortening the time to diagnosis and subsequently intervention, dramatically improving the prognosis of affected patients.]]
