- This is the first output from collaboration with Leicester Medical School on a new brain injury diagnostic device, based on the recording of brain tissue pulsation, in which Lecchini-Visintini is leading the software and analytics. In recent years, medical imaging advances have kick-started a world-wide research impetus on brain tissue pulsation, with leading groups in US, New Zealand and France. This is the only UK based approach and has the potential to bring disruptive innovation since it is portable and low-cost. The device has been prototyped by industrial partner Nihon Kohden. Two small follow-up studies have already demonstrated diagnostic potential.
