Heriot-Watt大学获得475K英镑,用于测试一种新装置,通过皮肤振动来测量湿疹的强度,目的是提供更准确、更及时的护理。 Heriot-Watt University gets £475K to test a new device that measures eczema severity via skin vibrations, aiming for more accurate, timely care.

Heriot-Watt大学已收到475 000英镑,用于推进振动感应传感器,测量皮肤的硬度和流体水平,以改进对乳腺的诊断和治疗。 Heriot-Watt University has received over £475,000 to advance a vibroacoustic sensor that measures skin stiffness and fluid levels to improve eczema diagnosis and treatment. 该装置是组织计量项目的一部分,它利用表面振动提供关于炎症的客观实时数据,减少对主观直观评估的依赖——特别是有利于更深的皮肤色调。 The device, part of the TissueMetrics project, uses surface vibrations to provide objective, real-time data on inflammation, reducing reliance on subjective visual assessments—especially beneficial for darker skin tones. 该技术由苏格兰企业和医学研究委员会的 Gap Fund 资助，正在对接受晚期湿疹治疗的患者进行临床测试。 Funded by Scottish Enterprise and the Medical Research Council’s Gap Fund, the technology is entering clinical testing with patients on later-stage eczema treatments. 研究人员旨在验证其在诸如药店等社区环境中的准确性和可用性,从而有可能促成早期由数据驱动的护理,减少试验和痛苦治疗,并改善整个联合王国获得皮肤病治疗服务的机会。 Researchers aim to validate its accuracy and usability in community settings like pharmacies, with potential to enable earlier, data-driven care, reduce trial-and-error treatment, and improve access to dermatological services across the UK.
