New manuscript in Science Advances Highlights Novel Soft Multimodal Optoelectronic Array for Cardiac Mapping

Our newly published manuscript in collaboration with George Washington University’s Luyao Lu Lab demonstrates a soft, transparent, and wireless cardiac interface that can perform simultaneous fluorescent and electrical measurements. The device allows for Multiparametric in vivo mapping of electrical excitation, calcium dynamics, and their combined effects on cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, both in vivo and ex vivo. The in vivo recordings of calcium signal were tcomparable to those recorded in ex vivo optical mapping experiments, offering potential widespread use in cardiac research

Additionally, this work was spotlighted in a Northwestern Engineering report: “Wireless Device Tracks Heart Function in Real Time.” You can read the report [here].
