摘要：
Tissue-mounted devices and methods for monitoring a thermal transport property (e.g., thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, heat capacity) of tissue, such as skin, are disclosed. The devices conformally mount to the tissue and comprise one or more thermal actuators and a plurality of sensors. The actuator applies heat to the tissue and the sensors detect a spatio temporal distribution of a physiological tissue parameter or physical property resulting from the heating. This spatio temporal information may be correlated with a rate, velocity and/or direction of blood flow, the presence of a vascular occlusion, circulation changes due to in flammation, hydration level and other physiological parameters.
