Optical Fibre Pressure Sensors in Medical Applications
This article is focused on reviewing the current state-of-the-art of optical fibre pressure sensors for medical applications. Optical fibres have inherent advantages due to their small size, immunity to electromagnetic interferences and their suitability for remote monitoring and multiplexing. The small dimensions of optical fibre-based pressure sensors, together with being lightweight and flex...
متن کاملWearable and Implantable Sensors for Biomedical Applications.
Mobile health technologies offer great promise for reducing healthcare costs and improving patient care. Wearable and implantable technologies are contributing to a transformation in the mobile health era in terms of improving healthcare and health outcomes and providing real-time guidance on improved health management and tracking. In this article, we review the biomedical applications of wear...
متن کاملImplantable micromechanical parylene-based pressure sensors
This paper presents the first implantable, unpowered, parylene-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensor for intraocular pressure (IOP) sensing. From in situ mechanical deformation of the compliant spiral-tube structures, this sensor registers pressure variations without electrical or powered signal transduction of any kind. Micromachined high-aspect-ratio polymeric hollow tube...
متن کاملPiezoresistive Sensors for Medical Applications
Rectal manometry provide a useful method to objectively assess the physiology of defecation. We developed a probe with 10 embedded transducers for evaluating the dynamic rectal pressure profile. The innovation of the probe is to use small piezoresistive dice and reduce the packaging resulting in a very small assembly. The diameter of the probe is 9 mm with a length of 20 cm. The length could be...
متن کاملAn Universal packaging technique for low-drift implantable pressure sensors.
Monitoring bodily pressures provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. In particular, long-term measurement through implantable sensors is highly desirable in situations where percutaneous access can be complicated or dangerous (e.g., intracranial pressure in hydrocephalic patients). In spite of decades of progress in the fabrication of miniature solid-state pressure sensors, senso...
