A novel breakthrough in wrist-worn transdermal Troponin-I-Sensor assessment for acute myocardial infarction

23 Mar 2023

A transdermal-infrared spectrophotometric sensor (T-ISS) to assess troponins increase has been recently developed. This multicenter, observational study tested the feasibility of implementing this tool with machine learning analytics carried out in a cohort of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.
