BioMEMS Application-MEMS for Diabetic Retinopathy

Fundus photo showing focal laser surgery for d...

There is no neat, targeted way to treat diabetic retinopathy, a condition that could lead to blindness. Laser therapy can result in diminished side and night vision and the other current method used, the cancer drug docetaxel, clear from the system so quickly that high doses are needed, increasing toxicity to healthy tissue. The research group ANPRON tells us about a team of Canadian scientists who think they have found a solution for sufferers of diabetic retinopathy. They have made a MEMS device (micron-sized electromechanical systems) that could be implanted behind the eye and release docetaxel on command by an external magnet.

MEMS based detection of airbubble & flow in Liquids for Biomedical Devices

Sensirion_LG01_def_web

The Swiss sensor manufacturer Sensirion introduces the new flow and air bubble detector for the detection of LG01 low liquid flow rates and air bubbles. The small and light sensor is particularly suitable for integration in bio-medical applications and solutions for process engineering. The sensor detects flow rates in a range of several ml / min or less and responds with a response time of ms under 100. The output signal of either 0 or 5 V indicating whether the flow rate is currently above or below a specified threshold. At constant flow rates above the threshold, the sensor can be used alternatively for the detection of air bubbles in the river channel. According Sensirion increases the reliability of fluid systems with a maximum flow rate up to 220 ml / min.

PhD position in Bioelectronics & Neuroscience in University of West sydney

 

 

 

 

The  Bioelectronics Neuroscience (BENS) Research Group, within the College of Health and Science, is seeking  an excellent Doctoral candidate to commence a project in Spring Session 2011.  The project title is: potential biomedical applications of gas array sensor technologies using dedicated VLSI hardware implementing Bayesian Inference for pattern recognition and classification tasks.

Unlike the majority of the current research in the field, the implementation would focus on developing low-power, portable systems through tightly integrated sensor and classification hardware.  This approach should yield a low-cost, highly efficient and reproducible sensor platform which can be tailored, through the selection of sensors, to detect the presence of a wide array of organic compounds.

Sensors Which can stretch are Here? How They will be utilised in Biomedical

Sensors that can stretch are already here you can read about them below….. But can anyone suggest how we will be able to translate this innovation into Biomedical Engineering.
Is someone sitting in the passenger seat of the car? Did someone enter the safety zone in front of an industrial machine? Stretch and pressure sensors have a wide range of applications. Researchers have now developed sensors capable of expanding, in extreme cases, to twice their original length and so supple as to go virtually unnoticed when sewn into clothing.

SMART DUST:

Smartdust is a hypothetical system of many tiny microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) such as sensors, robots, or other devices, that can detect, for example, light, temperature, vibration, magnetism or chemicals; are usually networked wirelessly; and are distributed over some area to perform tasks, usually sensing.
