What: A camera uses laser Doppler imaging to show blood flowing through the skin in real time. Red portions of the image indicate areas of high blood flow while blue means low blood flow.
Who: Aimago, a Swiss start-up company
Future: The machine will help doctors know up to three days earlier with 98 percent accuracy whether a burn victim's skin has the blood supply it needs to heal itself or if skin grafts need to be performed. The machine was primarily developed to help burn victims, but it could potentially be used in reconstructive surgery.
