Abstract


Monitoring blood coagulation time is crucial for diagnosing and managing hematological disorders, including coagulation disorders such as hemophilia, and for monitoring anticoagulant treatment plans in patients with cardiovascular conditions. Standard laboratory devices, although precise, require the patient to be present in a clinical setting, are bulky, and often expensive. The creation of a portable monitoring system offers numerous advantages, allowing for constant and real-time monitoring of coagulation parameters, providing additional comfort for the patient, facilitating rapid intervention in case of problems, and reducing the need for clinic visits. Considering these aspects, we decided to develop a portable blood coagulation time monitoring device to assist individuals with hematological disorders.
