Session 28 overview: Biological sensors for point of care

Point-of-care (PoC) medical services aim to deliver care at the convenient proximity of patients using dedicated PoC testing tools. Thus, they inevitably require various integrated and miniaturized biological sensors. The sensor systems discussed in this session comprise the technologies and designs for several key modalities, including: NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), ESR (Electron spin resonance), dielectric spectroscopy of water comprising biomolecules, ECG (Electrocardiogram), BIOZ (bio-impedance), PPG (Photoplethysmogram), and GSR (Galvanic Skin Response), measurements of vital signals, and airborne particle matter.
