Biosensors are new, highly innovative devices used for detecting biological responses, which are converted into measurable data.
How Biosensors Work:
Biosensors capture biological data, which is first analyzed using algorithms and then translated into measurable quantity.
Advantages of Biosensors:
- Detects & Prevents Progression of Illness
Research has shown that biosensors highly effective in diagnosing the early onset of diseases caused by various infections. This technology has the ability to be used daily, as the sensors can be incorporated to mobile devices, which can synchronize personalized data to applications, which aids in remotely monitoring health. This data can be immediately available to physicians, which allows treatment to be more convenient and efficient. Early detection of these diseases can allow treatment to begin promptly, which increases the likely-hood of recovery.
- Detects Blood-Alcohol Levels in the Body
A recently designed wearable device called “Biosensor Tattoo” can sense the changes in the electric currents flowing through the sweat of the user. These changes in the electric currents determine blood-alcohol levels in the body. This information is then sent to the user’s mobile phone to alert them. This will allow users to make informed decisions as to whether it is safe to drive.
- Detects Blood-Glucose Levels in the Body
The advancement in biosensor technology allows diabetics to monitor their glucose levels in a more affordable, convenient way. This non-invasive device eliminates the use of multiple test strips.
- Biosensor Technology can have a Huge Impact
Biosensor technology currently has a huge impact on the healthcare industry, but with time and innovation these sensors can revolutionize the way diseases are diagnosed. Biosensors play an important role when it comes to monitoring health.
