The innovative DSCFO technology may serve as a low-cost wearable sensor for continuous bedside monitoring of multiple cerebral hemodynamic parameters in neonatal intensive care units. Concurrent DSCFO and DCS measurements of CBF variations in neonatal piglet models generated consistent results. No consistent correlation patterns were observed among peripheral and cerebral monitoring parameters in preterm neonates, suggesting the importance of multi-parameter measurements for understanding deep insights of peripheral and cerebral regulations during IH events. Integrating and correlating multiple cerebral functional parameters with clinical outcomes may identify biomarkers for prediction and management of IH associated brain injury.
