Title: Nanotechnology based wearable and disposable sensor platforms as diagnostic tools

Abstract:

Nanotechnology has emerged as a novel tool for varied applications. Nanomaterial based sensor platform offers novel resolutions   in chemical, physical and bio-related detection which empowers the detection range, selectivity, sensitivity and multiplex sensing proficiencies in wearable and disposable devices   for  extensive   assortment   of   biomedical, environmental, food and security  applications [1]. The growing problem of diseases such as cancer, dementia etc. and security and food adulteration  require better-quality sensors to screen early-stage disease and inform disease  management.  Similarly, sensors are needed to assure the safety and security of common population. Several  novel nanotechnological based sensor devices have already  verified for fast response and increased sensitivity at miniaturized level. However, translation of such devices to the marketable level is delayed by interrogations about consistency, repeatability and robustness. Wearable sensor has emerged as a novel diagnostic tool to assess individual’s physio-chemical parameters and reveal about individual’s fitness. We have developed and demonstrated various biosensors using wearable sensor platforms such as microneedles, gloves, tattoos, textiles for nerve agents, opioid, alcohol, cancer biomarkers and vitamins detection in body fluids.
