TISSUE MONITORING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A tissue monitoring device for selecting, administering or adjusting a treatment based on information obtained by the monitoring comprising:
- a substrate for applying to a tissue, for example, a human or an animal external, or internal tissue, including vascular tissue;
a light source supported by the substrate, the light source emitting light of a first frequency for directing the emitted light onto a surface of the tissue;
a photodetector carried by the substrate spaced from the light source for detecting scattered light, wherein the scattered light is the emitted light scattered by the tissue; and
a controller in communication with the photodetector and the light source.
