Abstract
Diagnostic devices can be used for diagnosing lymphedema. The diagnostic devices may include an array of sensors, which can at least include a durometer, temperature sensor, and dielectric sensor, to measure parameters of tissue. The measurements may be used to generate a tissue health score to diagnose lymphedema and monitor tissue heath.
Claims10
A diagnostic device for measuring a hardness and a bioimpedance of a tissue, the diagnostic device comprising:
- a bioimpedance sensor, the bioimpedance sensor comprising a conductive probe, wherein the bioimpedance sensor is configured to measure the bioimpedance of the tissue;
- an electrical ground surrounding at least a portion of the conductive probe, wherein the conductive probe is stationary with respect to the diagnostic device;
- and
- a durometer sensor, the durometer sensor comprising a durometer probe disposed radially inward of the conductive probe and extending past a tip of the conductive probe, the durometer probe moveable with respect to the conductive probe, wherein the durometer sensor is configured to measure the hardness of the tissue.
