The need for low-cost portable devices to measure substances of medical or biological interest (blood sugar levels, for instance) is growing, primarily within the health sector, though also areas such as food quality and environmental monitoring. Sending samples off to a clinical chemistry laboratory for analysis is expensive, and it takes a long time for results to reach the patient. Devices for use in the field. at point-of-care or in non-hospital settings would constitute an efficient alternative were they able to give accurate readings under non-laboratory conditions.
Diabetic patients have to monitor blood glucose regularly and frequently, but conventional method of taking blood sample for measuring glucose level is painful. It is therefore important to develop high performance biological sensors for monitoring the glucose level at a reasonable cost.
Prima-Temp, Inc., the company that has patented wireless, continuous temperature monitoring to address a variety of physiological needs, launches their long-awaited, groundbreaking fertility sensor, Priya™.
ams AG, a leading provider of high performance sensors and analog ICs, today announced the launch of the AS7000, the first member of a new family of health/fitness solutions aimed at wearable devices.
The Florida Institute for the Commercialization of Public Research (the Institute) announced today that it has finalized a funding agreement with Aviana Molecular Technologies (AMT), an Orlando-based company with technology developed at the University of Central Florida.
LIVETOUCH® technology developed by JENETRIC has created a new class of fingerprint identification products. For the first time ever, a transparent image sensor based on optical TFT technology combines the fingerprint capture area with the user display for instructions and real-time feedback. LIVETOUCH conquers the limitations of previous systems and redefines user friendliness for capturing fingerprints.
The Global Fingerprint sensors market is valued at $5.5 billion in 2014 with CAGR of 17.53% and is expected to reach $20.03 billion by 2022. The most important factors driving the market are electronic devices such as laptops, PC's, tablets, mobiles, Increase in demand for Fingerprint Sensors in Security checks in airports, organizations. On the other side, the factors such as lack of awareness on security rudiments and complexity of smart phone, can restrain the growth of fingerprint sensors market.
Research published recently in Science as Culture suggests that men are surprisingly positive and open to the concept of having cancer-detecting biosensors implanted within their bodies – effectively making them cyborgs.
New technology could be used to detect drugs at airports, test food quality and develop perfumes.
A smart device that translates sign language while being worn on the wrist could bridge the communications gap between the deaf and those who don�t know sign language, says a Texas A&M University biomedical engineering researcher who is developing the technology.
