Non-invasive continuous monitoring of blood flow may be particularly valuable for early detection of different anomalies such as hypovolemia and internal bleeding. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential clinical benefits of photo-plethysmography in detecting hypovolemia before the onset of cardiovascular decompensation. The magnetic sensing method bears advantages of size, weight, and cost along with less stringent body placement rules.

Capillary - tissue fluid exchange is controlled by the blood pressure in the capillary and the osmotic pressure of blood (pressure of the tissue fluid outside the capillaries). In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to simulate the movement of bacteria into and within a capillary segment. The model is based on Fokker-Planck equation and Navier-Stocks equations that accounts for different boundary conditions.
