Overview● Coagulopathy of Trauma – A hypo-coagulable state
caused by trauma, resulting in increased bleeding or clotting, heightened resuscitation requirements, and a 4x increased rate of mortality.
● Car accidents, shootings, bad falls...
● To minimize mortality, coagulopathy must be assessed and addressed nearest to the time of injury and monitored throughout the course of care.
Problem with Current Solutions● Measurements can only be taken in a hospital/lab setting
● Can take up to an hour
● Seconds matter when treating a critically injured person
Aptitude’s Solution● Proprietary molecule that binds to receptors in a person’s
blood. Electrochemical signals produced by the molecular binding give coagulopathy measurement.
● Developed a handheld sensor analogous to a blood glucose meter
● 30 second test
Location Hospital/Lab Portable
Time ~ 1 hour < 2 minutes
Size Stationary Machines Handheld
User Doctor/Lab Technician First Responder

Peltier Control Function
1. Input: Temperature (℃)
1. Output: PWM Duty Cycle (0-100%)
1. Using two PID controller objects
i. One for heatingii. One for cooling
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)● Control loop mechanism employs feedback● Continuously calculates an error value e(t) as the difference
between a desired setpoint y(t) and a measured process variable r(t)
● Applies a correction based on proportional, integral, and derivative terms

Heating PID - No Enclosure Results
Converges to +10℃ in around 7-8 seconds!
Cooling (more difficult)
Working against ambient temperatureCreated an enclosure for thermal isolation
Heat from bottom side diffuses into colder sideHigh temperature gradient reduces efficiency
Attached heat sinks
