TTW funded Biomonitor project

Sensing technologies for acquiring real-time, precise, and reliable data are becoming more and more important in the field of healthcare, to help monitor, treat and coach patients. Over the past years, many sensors have become commercially available, e.g. for the sensing of heart rate, muscle action, body temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. These sensors all measure physical properties rather than underlying biochemical processes. An important next step is to develop sensors for the continuous in-situ monitoring of chemical and biochemical markers.
