Well-functioning vascular access (VA) is essential for hemodialysis treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, continuous and accurate monitoring of blood flow to assess high-flux VA during hospitalization or at home is not feasible for either clinical instruments or wearable sensors. Here, we report the design and preclinical validation of a high-precision, long-term, epidermal blood flow sensor that self-adapts to unavoidable sensor-mounting deviations on the skin and is compatible with individual tissue differences. Specifically, the technology is based on thermal dissipation of the skin, and improves the signal-to-error ratio surpassing 4 times when measuring high-flux blood (100–600 mL/min). In preclinical validation, the sensor is compared with the Doppler ultrasound and demonstrate a blood flow resolution of 10–50 mL/min. Furthermore, it is highly-integrated and wearable, measuring 36 × 50 mm2. The sensor paves the way for accurate, convenient, high-flux blood monitoring, offering significant potential to extend the lives of patients with ESRD.

用于血液透析患者高通量血管通路监测的自适应表皮血流传感器



功能良好的血管通路 (VA) 对于终末期肾病 (ESRD) 患者的血液透析治疗至关重要。然而,在住院期间或在家中连续准确地监测血流以评估高通量 VA 对于临床仪器或可穿戴传感器来说都是不可行的。在这里,我们报告了高精度、长期、表皮血流传感器的设计和临床前验证,该传感器可以自我适应皮肤上不可避免的传感器安装偏差,并与个体组织差异兼容。具体来说,该技术基于皮肤的散热,在测量高通量血液 (100-600 mL/min) 时,信错比提高了 4 倍以上。在临床前验证中,将传感器与多普勒超声进行比较,显示血流分辨率为 10-50 mL/min。此外,它还高度集成且可穿戴,尺寸为 36 × 50 毫米2。该传感器为准确、便捷、高通量的血液监测铺平了道路,为延长 ESRD 患者的生命提供了巨大的潜力。
