Assuming someone were to construct such a thing what sort of symptoms would
you expect it to exhibit? Neurological symptoms? Or would you just look
for bubbles? You can do that already by measuring skin resistance (bubbles
in the skin increase resistance). Trouble is, there is not a good
relationship between bubbles and neurological symptoms of DCI.
