A way to continuously monitor the blood cell count of patients to provide…

- - - - fluoroscent chemical
    - - enzyme
- - - - pros
      - cons
    - - pros
        
        tried and tested
      - cons
        
        not applicable for monitoring WBCs
        
        conflicting (?) chemical reactions that would affect accuracy of results
    - - pros
        
        relatively simple method (?)
      - cons
        
        additional reagents in device
  - - - more precise than other methods
    - - everyone is doing it lol
      - bulky
  - - - device has to be very sensitive
- - - - taking density of white blood cells, correlate to certain levels of thresholds (CHOSEN APPROACH]
        
        slightly less accurate than MIT approach
        
        hacking the pulse oximeter
        
        more portable
        
        light feature to shine through finger tip with light sensor attached on other end
        
        follow up: suitable thresholds , ratios of light to ???
        
        follow up: confounding factors
        
        skin color
        
        follow up: remove background noise
      - minimising MIT approach (Point Check)
        
        checking transparency of cells + counter [need to check]
