NEURO TOUCH is an advanced medical device developed by Yostra Labs for the screening and assessment of peripheral neuropathy, particularly in diabetic patients. Here is a detailed explanation of the NEURO TOUCH device
Overview
NEURO TOUCH is a 5-in-1 multi-parameter screening device designed to evaluate the function and health of peripheral nerves. It is primarily used to detect and monitor neuropathy, a condition where nerve damage leads to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness, commonly in the hands and feet.
Key Features
1. Multi-Parameter Screening : NEURO TOUCH combines five different neuropathy screening tools into a single, portable device. This integration enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.
2. AI-Powered : The device leverages artificial intelligence for data management and analysis, providing healthcare professionals with detailed and actionable insights.
3. Portable and Lightweight : Weighing just 470 grams, NEURO TOUCH is easy to handle and transport, making it suitable for use in various clinical settings.
4. Long Battery Life : The device can screen over 30-50 patients on a single charge, ensuring continuous operation during busy screening sessions.
5. Bluetooth Connectivity : Data can be transferred via Bluetooth to an Android app, facilitating seamless integration with digital health records.
6. Cloud-Based Report Generation : AI-generated reports can be accessed through a web portal at www.reports.neurotouch.co, enabling remote monitoring and analysis.
7. User-Friendly Interface : Designed with healthcare professionals in mind, the device features an intuitive interface that simplifies the screening process.
1. Monofilament Test : Evaluates the ability to sense light touch or pressure, which helps detect loss of protective sensation in the skin, especially in the feet.
2. Vibration Perception Test : Assesses the ability to feel vibrations, which is essential for detecting damage in large nerve fibers.
3. Hot and Cold Perception Test : Measures sensitivity to temperature changes, which helps identify damage in small nerve fibers responsible for detecting heat and cold.
4. Skin Temperature Assessment : Measures the skin’s surface temperature to identify abnormalities that could indicate issues like poor blood circulation or inflammation.
Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that specifically affects the small nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain and temperature sensations, as well as some autonomic functions (such as heart rate, sweating, and blood pressure regulation). Here are the key aspects of SFN:
Symptoms
Pain: Burning, stabbing, or shooting pain, often in the feet and hands.
Temperature Sensitivity : Increased sensitivity to hot or cold.
Numbness : A reduced ability to feel pain or temperature changes.
Autonomic Symptoms : Such as irregular heartbeats, blood pressure fluctuations, and gastrointestinal issues.
Large fiber neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that affects the large nerve fibers responsible for transmitting sensory information related to vibration, touch, and proprioception (sense of body position), as well as motor functions. Here are the key aspects of large fiber neuropathy:
Symptoms
Loss of Sensation : Reduced ability to feel vibrations, touch, or proprioception, often starting in the feet and hands.
Balance Problems : Difficulty maintaining balance, especially in the dark or when eyes are closed, due to impaired proprioception.
Muscle Weakness : Weakness in the affected muscles, leading to difficulties with movement and coordination.
Reflex Changes : Reduced or absent reflexes, such as the ankle or knee-jerk reflex.
