Drug Monitoring with Wearable Sweat Sensors

Li-Chia Tai
2022

Wearable sensors have been very popular among us to monitor our physical wellness, and they are potentially important for health monitoring with implications toward preventive care and clinical treatment. On the market, noninvasive wearables can be used to track external metrics such as heart rate and ECG signal. However, they fail to inform users about elusive biomarkers at the molecular level, which can potentially provide more insight into a person’s health situation. Traditionally, accessing bio-molecular information requires collecting blood or urine samples with invasive extraction...

Low power silicon based light source and detector are attractive for on-chip photonic circuits given their ease of process integration. However, conventional silicon light emitting diodes emit photons with energies near the band edge where the corresponding silicon photodetectors lack responsivity. On the other hand, previously reported hot carrier electroluminescent silicon devices utilizing a reverse biased diode require high operating voltages. Here, we investigate hot carrier electroluminescence in silicon metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitors operating under transient voltage conditions...

The mid-wave infrared (MWIR) wavelength range plays a central role in a variety of applications, including optical gas sensing, industrial process control, spectroscopy, and infrared (IR) countermeasures. Among the MWIR light sources, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have the advantages of simple design, room-temperature operation, and low cost. Owing to the low Auger recombination at high carrier densities and direct bandgap of black phosphorus (bP), it can serve as a high quantum efficiency emitting layer in LEDs. In this work, we demonstrate bP-LEDs exhibiting high external quantum...

Wearable sweat sensors are emerging as promising platforms for personalized and real-time tracking of evolving health and fitness parameters. While most wearable sweat sensors focus on tracking biomarker concentration profiles, sweat secretion rate is a key metric with broad implications for assessing hydration, cardiac, and neural conditions. Here we present a wearable microfluidic sensor for continuous sweat rate measurement. A discrete impedimetric sensing scheme relying on interdigitated electrodes within a microfluidic sweat collector allows for precise and selective sweat rate...
