A team of doctors and scientists at Northwestern University has created a wireless device to monitor transplanted organs for early signs of rejection.
“These will be a fascinating way to use it as an early detector,” said Dr. Joaquin Brieva.
Dr. Brieva is a dermatologist at Northwestern Medicine, but is not affiliated with the study in any way.“I'm doing great. My donor is doing great,” Brieva said.His holiday wish came true months later. While he’s feeling great, the fear of organ rejection is constant. “It is always something you have to monitor and they do keep a close eye. You do blood tests three times a week, which is not fun,” Brieva said.
The implant could bring peace of mind for recipients, like Brieva, who fear rejection that can happen at any time, even decades after surgery.“If this device is monitored continuously, and the temperature is normal throughout, it can actually take away the anxiety,” Gallon said.“It's something that can be used to save people’s, you know, kidney functions and eventually save people's life,” Gallon said.
