2. Welcome
Welcome to the 5th Annual Sensors in Medicine Conference which will be
held on 3-5 October 2017.
The Sensors in Medicine Conference series uniquely brings together
leading academics, clinicians and medical technology companies to review
progress and future opportunities for the application of sensor technology
in medicine and healthcare.
This short presentation introduces SiM17, its objectives, program, and
speakers.
I hope you will join us in early October in London for another challenging
and thought provoking conference.
Michael Brand PhD SM FRSC
Conference Chair
3. n Promote innovative new commercial sensor technology
n Highlight leading academic research near to commercial use
n Provide a platform to showcase emerging sensor companies
n Explore trends in healthcare applications of sensor technology
n Facilitate formation of partnerships for investment and technology transfer
Vision
Despite a worldwide research effort in sensor development, relatively little of this
technology ever reaches the market place and clinic. The overall objective of Sensors in
Medicine 2017 is to facilitate the adoption of new sensor technology

7. Glucose Sensors
• Glucose sensing for diabetic care, introduced in the 1980’s, is
the leading commercial application of biosensors, projected to
exceed $12 billion by 2020
• Research continues to improve diabetic care:
– Sensors for sweat, saliva, tears – avoiding painful finer sticks
– Continuous glucose monitoring using wearable sensors
– Closed loop insulin pump systems
– Implantable sensors with long lifetimes

9. Infectious Disease Sensors
• InVitro Diagnostics market for infectious diseases is forecast to
reach $26 billion by 2020
• Sensor developments for IDs are driven by:
– Need for rapid Point-of-Care diagnosis
– Antimicrobial resistance
– Rapidly emerging ID outbreaks, e.g. Ebola & Zilka viruses
– Sensors for resource limited environments

11. Cancer Diagnosis Sensors
• With 1 in 2 people forecast to be diagnosed with cancer the
market potential for sensor based diagnostic devices exceeds all
other applications – and they will have the greatest
humanitarian impact
• Sensors for cancer diagnosis are being developed now:
– Liquid biopsies – tests for molecules, cells and cellular fragments
– Breath biopsies – tests for biomarkers in exhaled breath
– Sensor platforms for multiple biomarkers
