Point-of-care or ‘near-patient’ testing has received attention in recent years for its usefulness in rapid and reliable delivery of healthcare to a patient in a variety of clinical settings. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived optical biomarkers (e.g., tissue oxygen saturation) have been utilized to monitor tissue vascularity and oxygenation status continuously in normal and patient populations. Despite its ease of use and modest cost, the NIRS modality is still not at point-of-care use in the healthcare sector as extensively as other physiological modalities such as Pulse Oximetry. This short communication examines the case for point-of-care testing with two examples of FDA-approved NIRS systems, and discusses the feasibility and implementation of the NIRS modality as a point-of-care technology.

This paper focuses on electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) comparison to help the rehabilitation patients. Both methods have unique techniques and placement of electrodes. Usage of signals are different in application based on the economic conditions. This study helps in choosing the signal for the betterment of analysis. Ten healthy subject datasets of EEG & FNIRS are taken and applied to plot topography separately. Accuracy, Sensitivity, peaks, integral areas, etc are compared and plotted. The main advantages of this study are to prompt their necessities in the analysis of rehabilitation devices to manage their life as a typical individual.
