Work & Insights

Developed a low-cost, reusable optical sensor system for real-time detection of turbidity changes in peritoneal dialysis fluid, enabling early detection of peritonitis.

Created a smartphone-based diagnostic tool that uses light detection to quantitate cloudiness and estimate white blood cell count in dialysis fluid.

Developed a low-cost, reusable sensor that attaches directly to the peritoneal dialysis drain line. It uses embedded light emitters and detectors to continuously monitor changes in turbidity—an early marker of peritonitis—enabling fast, objective diagnosis without needing lab tests or patient-reported symptoms.
