Full textAbstract:
Physiological pressure measurement is one of the most common applications of sensors in healthcare. Particularly, continuous pressure monitoring provides key information for early diagnosis, patient-specific treatment, and preventive healthcare. This paper presents a thin-film flexible wireless pressure sensor for continuous pressure measurement in a wide range of medical applications but mainly focused on interface pressure monitoring during compression therapy to treat venous insufficiency. The sensor is based on a pressure-dependent capacitor (C) and printed inductive coil (L) that form an inductor-capacitor (LC) resonant circuit. A matched reader coil provides an excellent coupling at the fundamental resonance frequency of the sensor. Considering varying requirements of venous ulceration, two versions of the sensor, with different sizes, were finalized after design parameter optimization and fabricated using a cost-effective and simple etching method. A test setup consisting of a glass pressure chamber and a vacuum pump was developed to test and characterize the response of the sensors. Both sensors were tested for a narrow range (0–100 mmHg) and a wide range (0–300 mmHg) to cover most of the physiological pressure measurement applications. Both sensors showed good linearity with high sensitivity in the lower pressure range <100 mmHg, providing a wireless monitoring platform for compression therapy in venous ulceration.

HighlightsAs a non-invasive temperature detection technology, IRT can provide dynamic information on skin temperature changes caused by physiological processes of livestock.IRT will become a more valuable detection tool for evaluating various signs and behavior changes of livestock.With the continuous development of information technology, it is necessary to use IRT to explore more expected and innovative information.Abstract. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive temperature detection technology characterized by non-destructive, long-distance measurement and high sensitivity. IRT measures mid-wave to long-wave infrared radiation emanating from objects and converts this radiation into visual images or videos of the temperature distribution and temperature changes. Because temperature is an important environmental parameter that affects livestock physiology and metabolic heat production, measurement of animal temperature and energy exchange in field environments is a useful tool for understanding physiological changes in animals. Traditional measurement methods of animal temperature are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. As a non-contact method, IRT provides a new method for physiological data acquisition. However, IRT is also subject to a number of uncertainties, thus requiring optimal modeling using built-in software. Therefore, this study reviews applications of IRT in livestock production, including reproduction, growth, and diseases, and discusses some of the better-known approaches and the latest research findings for IRT in livestock production. Keywords: Diseases, Growth, Infrared thermography, Reproduction.

Full textAbstract:
Fast, miniature temperature sensors are required for various biomedical applications. Fibre-optics are particularly suited to minimally invasive procedures, and many types of fibre-optic temperature sensors have been demonstrated. In applications where rapidly varying temperatures are present, a fast and well-known response time is important; however, in many cases, the dynamic behaviour of the sensor is not well-known. In this article, we investigate the dynamic response of a polymer-based interferometric temperature sensor, using both an experimental technique employing optical heating with a pulsed laser, and a computational heat transfer model based on the finite element method. Our results show that the sensor has a time constant on the order of milliseconds and a −6 dB bandwidth of up to 178 Hz, indicating its suitability for applications such as flow measurement by thermal techniques, photothermal spectroscopy, and monitoring of thermal treatments.

Laboratory mice are used in biomedical research as “models” for studying human disease. These mice may be subject to significant levels of stress during transportation that can cause alterations that could negatively affect the results of the performed investigation. Here, we present the design and realization of a prototypical transportation container for laboratory mice, which may contribute to improved laboratory animal welfare. This prototype incorporates electric potential integrated circuit (EPIC) sensors, which have been shown to allow the recording of physiological parameters (heart rate and breathing rate) and other sensors for recording environmental parameters during mouse transportation. This allows for the estimation of the stress levels suffered by mice. First experimental results for capturing physiological and environmental parameters are shown and discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Potentiometric oxygen monitoring using platinum as the electrode material was enabled by the combination of conventional potentiometry with active prepolarization protocols, what we call active potentiometry. The obtained logarithmic transfer function is well-suited for the measurement of dissolved oxygen in biomedical applications, as the physiological oxygen concentration typically varies over several decades. We describe the application of active potentiometry in phosphate buffered salt solution at different pH and ion strength. Sensitivity was in the range of 60 mV/dec oxygen concentration; the transfer function deviated from logarithmic behavior for smaller oxygen concentration and higher ion strength of the electrolyte. Long-term stability was demonstrated for 60 h. Based on these measurement results and additional cyclic voltammetry investigations a model is discussed to explain the potential forming mechanism. The described method of active potentiometry is applicable to many different potentiometric sensors possibly enhancing sensitivity or selectivity for a specific parameter.

Full textAbstract:
Glaucoma is caused by excessive aqueous humor in the eye, resulting in a continuous or intermittent increase of intraocular pressure, which exceeds the tolerance of the eyeball and damages the optic nerve. Existing treatments for glaucoma do not work well or have significant side effects. Intraocular pressure signal is a very important physiological signal that needs real-time and accurate monitoring in glaucoma patients, especially in severe glaucoma patients. Therefore, long-term, real-time, and accurate monitoring of intraocular pressure is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma patients. The use of wearable devices for real-time ocular diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma patients is an effective approach. However, the current commonly used intraocular pressure measurement and monitoring technology is difficult to meet the diagnosis and monitoring needs of glaucoma patients in terms of size, measurement accuracy, power consumption, and intelligence. Therefore, facing the needs of glaucoma disease treatment, this topic studies an implantable flexible intraocular pressure sensor for long-term continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients and mainly focuses on the working principle, structural design, process fabrication, measurement and control system, characterization, and performance test of the intraocular pressure sensor. It is of great significance for personalized and accurate treatment of glaucoma patients.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Capabilities for generating and storing large amounts of data relevant to individual health and performance are rapidly evolving and have the potential to accelerate progress toward quantitative and individualized understanding of many important issues in health and medicine. Recent advances in clinical and laboratory technologies provide increasingly complete and dynamic characterization of individual genomes, gene expression levels for genes, relative abundance of thousands of proteins, population levels for thousands of microbial species, quantitative imaging data, and more – all on the same individual. Personal and wearable electronic devices are increasingly enabling these same individuals to routinely and continuously capture vast amounts of quantitative data including activity, sleep, nutrition, environmental exposures, physiological signals, speech, and neurocognitive performance metrics at unprecedented temporal resolution and scales. While some of the companies offering these measurement technologies have begun to offer systems for integrating and displaying correlated individual data, these are either closed/proprietary platforms that provide limited access to sensor data or have limited scope that focus primarily on one data domain (e.g. steps/calories/activity, genetic data, etc.). Methods: The Integrated Biomedical System is developed as a Ruby on Rails application with a relational database. Results: Data from multiple wearable monitors for activity, sleep, and physiological measurements, phone GPS tracking, individual genomics, air quality monitoring, etc. have been integrated into the Integrated Biomedical System. Conclusions: The Integrated Biomedical System is being developed to demonstrate an adaptable open-source tool for reducing the burden associated with integrating heterogeneous genome, interactome, and exposome data from a constantly evolving landscape of biomedical data generating technologies. The Integrated Biomedical System provides a scalable and modular framework that can be extended to include support for numerous types of analyses and applications at scales ranging from personal users, communities and groups, to potentially large populations.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) and Internet of Things (IoT)-based eHealth monitoring system called LI-Care to facilitate the diagnosis of the health condition cost-effectively. The system measures the heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, oxygen level, and breathing rate, and provides an electrocardiogram (ECG). The required sensors are integrated on a web-based application that keeps track of the essential parameters and gives an alarm indication if one or more physiological parameters go beyond the safe level. It also employs a webcam to obtain the patient view at any time. LabVIEW enables the effortless interfacing of various biomedical sensors with the computer and provides high-speed data acquisition and interactive visualizations. It also provides a web publishing tool to access the interactive window remotely through a web browser. The web-based application is accessible to doctors who are experts in that particular field. They can obtain the real-time reading and directly perform a diagnosis. The parameters measured by the proposed system were validated using the traditional measurement systems, and the Root Mean Square (RMS) errors were obtained for the various parameters. The maximum RMS error as a percentage was 0.159%, which was found in the temperature measurement, and its power consumption is 1 Watt/h. The other RMS errors were 0.05% in measurement of systolic pressure, 0.029% in measurement of diastolic pressure, 0.059% in measurement of breathing rate, 0.002% in measurement of heart rate, 0.076% in measurement of oxygen level, and 0.015% in measurement of ECG. The low RMS errors and ease of deployment make it an attractive alternative for traditional monitoring systems. The proposed system has potential applications in hospitals, nursing homes, remote monitoring of the elderly, non-contact monitoring, etc.

Abstract Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-I region, 650–950 nm and NIR-II region, 1000–1700 nm), with deeper tissue penetration and less disturbance from auto-fluorescence than that in visible region (400–650 nm), is playing a more and more extensive role in the field of biomedical imaging. With the development of precise medicine, intelligent NIR fluorescent probes have been meticulously designed to provide more sensitive, specific and accurate feedback on detection. Especially, recently developed ratiometric fluorescent probes have been devoted to quantify physiological and pathological parameters with a combination of responsive fluorescence changes and self-calibration. Herein, we systemically introduced the construction strategies of NIR ratiometric fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imaging in vivo, such as molecular detection, pH and temperature measurement, drug delivery monitoring and treatment evaluation. We further summarized possible optimization on the design of ratiometric probes for quantitative analysis with NIR fluorescence, and prospected the broader optical applications of ratiometric probes in life science and clinical translation.

abstract: Monitoring vital physiological signals, such as heart rate, blood pressure and breathing pattern, are basic requirements in the diagnosis and management of various diseases. Traditionally, these signals are measured only in hospital and clinical settings. An important recent trend is the development of portable devices for tracking these physiological signals non-invasively by using optical methods. These portable devices, when combined with cell phones, tablets or other mobile devices, provide a new opportunity for everyone to monitor one’s vital signs out of clinic.
This thesis work develops camera-based systems and algorithms to monitor several physiological waveforms and parameters, without having to bring the sensors in contact with a subject. Based on skin color change, photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveform is recorded, from which heart rate and pulse transit time are obtained. Using a dual-wavelength illumination and triggered camera control system, blood oxygen saturation level is captured. By monitoring shoulder movement using differential imaging processing method, respiratory information is acquired, including breathing rate and breathing volume. Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is obtained based on facial feature detection and motion tracking. Blood pressure is further calculated from simultaneously recorded PPG and BCG, based on the time difference between these two waveforms.
The developed methods have been validated by comparisons against reference devices and through pilot studies. All of the aforementioned measurements are conducted without any physical contact between sensors and subjects. The work presented herein provides alternative solutions to track one’s health and wellness under normal living condition.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
A number of recent studies have focused on the possibility of using the NIR techniques to monitor a change of glucose concentration in tissue [1,2]. The basis of the method rests on the fact that a change of refractive index in the extracellular fluid due to the presence of additional glucose causes a small change in the overall scattering property of the tissue that could be detected by the NIR techniques. Chance et al [ 3] show that in lipid and yeast cell suspensions, an increase in concentration of a general solute, such as sugars and electrolytes, gives rise to a decrease in scattering factor of the suspension. These results are in good agreement with those given in Refs. 1 and 2. However, in the tissue measurement performed on a perfused rat liver, the results obtained by adding mannitol (or glucose) to the perfusate of the perfused liver displayed a behavior in contrast to those in the lipid suspensions [3] and can not be well explained by the change of only refractive index. In order to employ the NIR techniques for a broad use in noninvasive physiological monitoring, we wish to show in this paper the solute-induced correlation between optical properties in tissue and its refractive index as well as its osmolarity.
