VascuEye

VascuEye is a medical device system designed to assist oral surgeons during free-flap oral surgery by detecting arteries and monitoring blood flow in real time. Using near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology, VascuEye enhances surgical precision by visualizing subcutaneous arteries, reducing the risk of accidental arterial damage. The system also simplifies post-surgical monitoring by detecting complications like hematomas and poor blood circulation.

Project Overview

VascuEye uses a Raspberry Pi embedded system with NIR sensors for artery detection, integrating AWS IoT for cloud storage and remote monitoring. The system features real-time artery mapping, displayed on a mobile interface developed using Flutter. This solution is tailored for free-flap oral surgery, where precise artery detection is critical to ensure the success of the procedure.

Key Features:

  • Real-time artery detection using NIR technology
  • Post-surgical monitoring for complications like poor circulation and hematomas
  • Cloud storage and secure remote data access via AWS IoT
  • Flutter-based mobile application for easy monitoring

Technology Stack

Embedded System

  • Raspberry Pi 3B/4B: Chosen for its processing power and flexibility.
  • NIR Sensors: Sensors for detecting blood vessels (still under testing for optimal selection).

Cloud & Server

  • AWS IoT: Secure cloud storage and real-time data monitoring.
  • Node.js: Backend server for data handling and transmission between hardware and cloud.
  • MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing patient-specific artery images and analysis results.

User Interface

  • React: Cross-platform development framework for mobile apps to display post-surgical data.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up your local development environment:
