Research Focus
Shana O'Kelley's lab focuses on developing advanced sensor technologies to continuously monitor heart failure biomarkers in patients. The lab's innovative research aims to create wearable sensors that can detect important biochemical signals without the need for complex reagents, making it easier to track heart health in real-time. By integrating electrochemical sensors with biocompatible materials, the team seeks to provide better management for heart failure patients through continuous monitoring.
