Wearable HD-DOT development:
As part of the ANIMATE project, we have developed a neonatal-specific wearable high-density DOT module. It exploits flexible electronics to produce ultra-low profile, lightweight sensors that can be directly interconnected to form imaging arrays. By combining various modules together via in-built board-to-board connector, the system can be used to create wide range of ultra-lightweight, flexible HD-DOT imaging arrays. This will incorporate hundreds of emitters and detectors of near-infrared light to safely image the whole cortex of infant brain.
