Summary:Provided are conformable devices to measure subdermal fluid flow and related methods. A soft, stretchable and flexible substrate supports a thermal actuator and various specially positioned temperature sensors. A microprocessor in electronic communication with sensors calculates subdermal fluid flow from the measured upstream and downstream temperatures, as well as various application-dependent parameters. Devices and methods provided herein are particularly useful for measuring cerebral spinal fluid in a ventricular shunt placed for treatment of hydrocephalus. 提供了用于测量皮下流体流的可适形装置和相关方法。柔软、可拉伸且柔性的衬底支撑热致动器和各种特殊定位的温度传感器。与传感器电子通信的微处理器根据测量的上游温度和下游温度以及各种应用相关参数来计算皮下流体流。本文提供的装置和方法特别适用于测量为了治疗脑积水而放置的脑室分流器中的脑脊液。
