The objective of the current study is to investigate the hemodynamic changes in the peripheral microcirculation system as a response to various changes, using noninvasive thermography and laser doppler
This study includes a single session per subject. Microvascular and systemic variables will be monitored in response to a number of non-invasive interventions/device that are approved for clinical use and known to elicit microvascular responses. These interventions are applied consecutively, include breathing at different rates, low power visible light in the red-to-near-infrared range, increase in local temperature, and changes in the arm position.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omnilux new-U (Red LED) | Device | The left wrist (including area of radial artery) will be illuminated with the Omnilux new-U (Red LED) light source, while the right wrist will not be illuminated |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Capillary blood flow | Capillary blood flow (red blood cell velocity or flux in 'perfusion units') as measured by laser doppler (Biopacâ„¢ System, Inc, USA). This is a continuous measurement (at least 10 Hz sampling rate) from baseline to end of experiment. | Up to 1 hour |
