MSU researcher develops up-to-date, affordable detection and monitoring methods for cardiovascular disease

A Mississippi State University researcher is developing up-to-date, more affordable methods for early detection and monitoring of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S.

Amirtahà Taebi, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, is using the human body’s vibrations to develop non-invasive diagnosis methods for cardiovascular disease using smartphones and low-cost sensors with a focus on health equity in the Taebi Lab at MSU. Work in the lab is directed toward low-income populations and underrepresented minorities, those usually more affected.
