Our Experimental team
The RescueDoppler study is managed at NTNU, while the experimental work has been (and continues to be) conducted in collaboration with Nord University and the Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP).
Nord University
The experimental animal study leading up to the clinical study was conducted at Anilab at Nord University.

University of Pennsylvania, Children ́s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
We have an experimental study on asphyxia and cardiac arrest ongoing at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and are also planning clinical studies together using RescueDoppler in children. The Resuscitation Science Center seeks to firmly position Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as the leading clinical and translational critical illness research epicenter in the world. They utilize innovative translational bridges from in vitro and small animal models to transformative large animal models that have streamlined preclinical development.
In a pediatric porcine model of cardiac arrest, we compare RescueDoppler, with the invasive cortical blood flow monitoring by Laser Doppler via the Periflux device and non-invasive cortical blood flow monitoring using diffuse correlation spectroscopy.The aim is to identify a cost effective, reliable, interpretable signal of intra-arrest cerebral blood flow could prove to be a technology that improves postcardiac arrest survival with favorable neurologic outcomes.

MD, attending physician in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. MD Kumaran Senthil, is in charge for our collaboration study: Hemodynamically-directed CPR using RescueDoppler, an experimental study.

PhD, Research Scientist
Dr. Ko
Dr. Ko, PhD and Research Scientist, leads the development and application of non-invasive, optical neuromonitoring technologies to detect and help mitigate neurological injury in preclinical and clinical studies of resuscitation and extracorporeal life support. She also leads implementation of preclinical data architecture and data standardization to facilitate predictive model development with an emphasis on prediction of resuscitation success and of neurological injury.
