Measurement of hemostatic parameters is essential for patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulant agents. In this paper, we present a shear mode bulk acoustic resonator based on an inclined c -axis aluminum nitride (AlN) film for monitoring the human hemostatic parameters. During the blood coagulation process, the resonant frequency of the device decreases along with a step-ladder profile due to the viscosity change during the formation of fibers in blood, revealing the sequential coagulation stages. Two hemostatic parameters with clinical significance, prothrombin time (PT) along with its derived measure of international normalized ratio (INR), are determined from time-frequency curves of the device. Furthermore, the resonator is compared with a commercial coagulometer by monitoring the hemostatic parameters for one month in a patient taking the oral anticoagulant. The results are consistent. In addition, thanks to the excellent potential for integration, miniaturization and the availability of direct digital signals, the proposed device has promising application for point of care coagulation monitoring.
