Webcam measures medications’ effects on heart

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Compiled by BioPhotonics staff

A tool using basic webcam technology enables real-time study of medications’ effects on heart cells – called cardiomyocytes – including any drug-induced changes in the beating rate. The technology could help drug makers and prescribers address a side effect of drugs called cardiotoxicity – an unhealthy change in the way the heart beats. Scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have developed a cost-effective, portable cell-based biosensor for real-time cardiotoxicity detection using an image sensor from a basic webcam. Using the biosensor to monitor...Read full article
