The Wearable Imaging for Transforming Elderly Care (WITEC) program integrates expertise from MIT, Singaporean universities, and clinical collaborators to create a device capable of intermittent 48-hour cardiovascular imaging outside hospital settings. The system targets conditions like hypertension and heart failure to enable proactive, personalized care.
Funded for multiple years by Singapore's National Research Foundation, WITEC seeks to shift patient management from episodic hospital scans to ongoing community and home monitoring, potentially improving early diagnosis and treatment efficacy through real-time data capture.
