Saliva

Fraunhofer Institute

Herbert Schuck

Allright, it was a dentist who came up with the question. How to measure the saliva layer in the mouth of a person. The Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering IBMT found a solution. It wasn’t easy at all. At the AAL 2012 program (Evoluon, Eindhoven) Herbert Schuck shows this device.

Difficulties

As you can see on the picture a certain score is measured. But what is the meaning of this in healthy and sick people?? This has to be seen. Perhaps my followers can bring in there ideas??
