Novel Wearable Device for Blood Leakage Detection during Hemodialysis Using an Array Sensing Patch

Hemodialysis (HD) is a clinical treatment that requires the puncturing of the body surface. However, needle dislodgement can cause a high risk of blood leakage and can be fatal to patients. Previous studies proposed several devices for blood leakage detection using optical or electrical techniques....
