Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention encompass automated systems and methods for analyzing platelet parameters in an individual based on a biological sample obtained from blood of the individual. Exemplary techniques involve correlating aspects of direct current (DC) impedance and/or light measurement data obtained from the biological sample with an evaluation of platelet conditions in the individual.
