A new study published by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom recently showed that a low-cost sensor made of plastics with semiconductor properties can efficiently detect many key metabolites in the human body, and it has broad application prospects in disease prevention and control in the future.
The new sensor was developed by a team led by researchers from the University of Cambridge and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. It accurately detects some key metabolites in sweat, tears, saliva and blood, such as lactate or glucose. Medical devices equipped with this sensor can efficiently and accurately detect the health of patients.
According to the team's report in the US Science Progress magazine, because the production materials do not contain precious metals, this sensor can not only be produced at a lower cost, but also more flexible in practical use, can be applied to wearable devices. And in implantable devices.
The main author of the report, Anna Maria Papa, said that the implantable device made with this sensor allows medical personnel to quickly detect the metabolic activity of the patient's brain before or during the onset of a disease such as epilepsy.
The researchers plan to further improve the sensor so that it can detect the metabolic activity of human cells in real time.
