3. INTRODUCTION
WEARABLE BIOSENSORS = WEARABLE + BIOSENSOR
WEARABLES :- BIOSENSORS :-
Objects that can be worn - Detect analyte
on body -Biological
component
Ex: wrist watch, rings, -Physiochemical
component
clothes, spectacles, etc…
4. COMPONENTS OF A BIOSENSOR
Sensitive Biological Element
Transducer
Associated Electronics
5. How does a biosensor works?
Use of wearable monitoring devices allows
continuous monitoring of physiological signal
Wearable systems are totally non-obstructive
devices that allow physicians to overcome the
limitation of ambulatory technology
Detect event predictive of possible worsening of
the patient’s clinical situations
6. Need for a wearable biosensor
Remote monitoring of patients
Training support for athletes
Monitoring of individuals who work with
hazardous elements
Tracking of professional truck driver’s vital
signs to alert then of fatique
7. What is a Wearable Biosensor?
Wearable monitoring device that allows continuous
monitoring of physiological signals.
They rely on wireless sensors enclosed in items that can
be worn, such as ring or shirt.
The data sets recorded using these systems are then
processed to detect patient’s clinical situations.
Biosensor is an analytical device, which convert a
biological response into electrical signal.
13. RING SENSOR
Monitors heart rate and oxygen saturation
It is a pulse oximetry sensor.
It mainly based on optical biosensors.
CR2032 Battery
Atmel AT mega 128L processor
15. Advantages
Continuous monitoring.
Easy to use.
Reducing hospitalization fee
DISADVANTAGES
Initial cost is high
Limited number of physiological parameters can be
monitored
16. APPLICATIONS
Health Care
Industrial process Control
- Online control
- Offline control
Mititary Applications
- Continuous
Environmental Monitoring
17. ADVANTAGES of WEARABLE BIOSENSORS
Rapid continuous control
Facilitates continuous monitoring
Detection of transient phenomena
Easy to use
Reducing hospitalization fee
Accurate
18. DISADVANTAGE of WEARABLE
BIOSENSORS
Heat sterilization is not possible
Intoxication of cell present in biosensor
Changes can put mechanical and chemical stress on the
biosensor
Initial cost is high
Battery life is less
19. FUTURE TRENDS
Magneto biosensors
Flame retardants
Personal care products
Greater use of home-based monitoring and treatment
Intelligent control of medication delivery (e.g. insulin
delivery based directly on blood glucose levels)
Greater use of nanotechnology and micro fluidics (“lab on
a chio”0
Implementation using Biochemistry, Chemistry, thin-film
physics, and electronics.
