In this work, we report the design, fabrication, and characterization of novel biochemical sensors consisting nanoscale grooves slits milled in a metal film to form two-arm, three-beam, planar plasmonic interferometers. By integrating thousands interferometers per square millimeter with microfluidic system, demonstrate sensor able detect physiological concentrations glucose water over broad wavelength range (400–800 nm). A sensitivity between 370 630 nm/RIU (RIU, refractive index units),...
Innovations in healthcare, diagnostics, sensors and data analysis with Artificial Intelligence (AI) learning / recommendations offer opportunities for improved personalized lower costs benefits to the medical industry. The age of human health monitoring has begun. Human using fluidic diagnostic monitoring, non-invasive sensors, wearables (electronic sensors), implanted sound, visual images, combinations these trends individuals healthcare guidance. data, analytics from solutions are...
The recently discovered bactericidal properties of nanostructures on wings insects such as cicadas and dragonflies have inspired the development similar nanostructured surfaces for antibacterial applications. Since most applications require covering a considerable amount area, practical fabrication method needs to be cost-effective scalable. However, reported nanofabrication methods either expensive equipment or high temperature process, limiting cost efficiency scalability. Here, we report...
Abstract A non-invasive method for the detection of glucose is sought by millions diabetic patients to improve personal management blood over a lifetime. In this work, synergistic advantage combining plasmonic interferometry with an enzyme-driven dye assay yields optical sensor capable detecting in saliva high sensitivity and selectivity. The sensor, coined “plasmonic cuvette,” built around nano-scale groove-slit-groove (GSG) interferometer coupled Amplex–red/Glucose–oxidase/Glucose...
This paper highlights the design philosophy and architecture of Health Guardian, a platform developed by IBM Digital team to accelerate discoveries new digital biomarkers development health technologies. The Guardian allows for rapid translation artificial intelligence (AI) research into cloud-based microservices that can be tested with data from clinical cohorts understand disease enable early prevention. connected mobile applications, wearables, or Internet things (IoT) devices collect...
This paper reports on a low-cost, quantitative, point-of-care solution for the early detection of nitrite, common biomarker urinary tract infections (UTIs). In healthy individual, nitrite is not found in urine. However, subject with suspected UTI will produce their urine since bacteria present convert nitrate into nitrite. Traditionally, monitored by dipsticks that are either read eye or using reflectance spectrophotometer. Both methods provide semiquantitative positive negative result at...
This paper presents a cost-effective, quantitative, point-of-care solution for urinalysis screening, specifically targeting nitrite, protein, creatinine, and pH in urine samples. Detecting nitrite is crucial the early identification of urinary tract infections (UTIs), while regularly measuring protein-to-creatinine (UPC) ratios aids managing kidney health. To address these needs, we developed portable, transmission-based colorimeter using readily available components, controllable via...
