A hardware and software system for point-of-care (bedside) testing of the functional state of the hemostasis system using the patient’s native blood has been developed. The block diagram of the system is presented and the main hardware and software solutions are described. A piezotransducer for low-frequency piezotromboelasto-graphy has been designed. The developed hardware and software system has been used for real-time monitoring of vascular platelet hemostasis in volunteers. The test has demonstrated a high degree of compliance with the standard methods for assessing the functional state of the hemostasis system. An advantage of the system is that it provides point-of-care testing of whole blood.
