Endothelial dysfunction represents a key factor in the worsening of the COVID-19 disease in up to 20% of the cases of infection from acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The combination of diffuse optics and vascular occlusion tests makes the assessment of endothelial and microvasculature health possible by accessing information about microvascular metabolism, reactivity and tissue perfusion just by performing a localized ischemia at the forearm of the patient. In this framework, we will present a smart platform integrating time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse correlation spectroscopy alongside an automatized tourniquet and a pulse-oximeter for personalizing therapies targeting endothelial function and avoid ventilator-induced lung injuries.
