New concepts in Remotely-Powered Telemetry of the Human Metabolism
On-line monitoring for diagnosis and/or treatment of patients with specific physiological conditions (e.g., heart, cardiovascular, cancer diseases) or convalescents is a key factor to provide better, more rationale, effective and ultimately low-cost health care. Some systems for on-line monitoring are available in the market. However, they use wearable devices (accelerometers, heartbeat monitoring system, etc) and they do not measure metabolites. The only available real-time, implantable/wearable systems for metabolic control are limited to glucose monitoring and used only by diabetic patients. There are many other molecules in human metabolism that present crucial relevance in chronic patients. So far, there are no available implantable/wearable systems for multi-metabolites, real-time, on-line monitoring of the human metabolism. Thus, the aim of this talk is to present innovative concepts for multi-metabolites, highly integrated, fully implantable, and real-time monitoring systems for human metabolism. The new approach is obtained by integrating nano/bio/micro/CMOS/SW/RF systems with major breakthroughs in nano-sensors, multi-panel metabolites detection, signal analysis, fully implantable sensors, and remote powering.
About the speaker:
Sandro Carrara is Senior Scientist and Lecturer at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and Professor of nano-bio-sensing and micro/nano interfaces at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Biophysics (DIBE) of the University of Genoa. He was a Professor in biophysics at the University of Genoa and a Professor of nanobiotechnology at the University of Bologna. Sandro Carrara graduated in Electronics in Technical school of Albenga, got a Master in Physics from University of Genoa and received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics from University of Padoa. His main scientific interest is on electrical phenomena mediated by nano-structured molecular thin-films. He currently has a special focus on development of Protein and DNA based CMOS bio-chips. He has more then 90 scientific publications and 10 patents.
