Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors have led a paradigm shift to painless, continuous, zero-finger pricking measurement in blood monitoring. Recent electrochemical CGM reached two-week lifespans and no calibration with clinically acceptable accuracy. The system the recent is identified as an “integrated system,” which can replace finger-pricking glucose-testing for diabetes treatment decisions. Although such innovation has brought technology closer realizing artificial pancreas,...

We propose a simple, fast, height-scalable, and direct way to fabricate highly biocompatible polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) microneedles. A needle-shaped distribution of ultraviolet (UV) exposure dose is formed in PEGDA by applying UV light through rotating prism. prism makes rays bend, such that the base angle determines inclined light. Thus, microneedle height can be controlled varying angles experimentally demonstrate height-scalable potential. The decreases tip increases with...

This work presents self-focusing 3D lithography based on the refractive index changes of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) during photopolymerization. Since polymerization PEGDA leads to an increase in index, UV light rays undergo a refraction effect exposure, thus being focused and forming photopolymerized structures. We demonstrate potential by fabricating microneedles trapezoid-shaped microwells. Their structures well match our theoretical estimation. Therefore, approach can provide...
