June 18th - STITCH WORKSHOPHOP
New sensing strategies are pervading medicine and biology, for disease diagnosis and treatment, clinical assessment, rehabilitation. The integration of different functionalities in electronic chips makes possible today that miniaturized systems including sensing, computing and communication capabilities are worn, implanted or swallowed by patients. This opens to innovative and unexpected opportunities offered by the continuous and ubiquitous collection and processing of big amounts of physical and physiological data.
The seminary will present two different applications of sensors in biomedicine, which are currently under development in Sapienza within the collaboration of electronic engineers, biologists, physiologists and doctors.
One application is an electrical biosensor made of silicon nanowires exhibiting exceptional properties as fast signal response and nanoscale footprint comparable to biomolecular and subcellular structures, and compatible with the integrated electronic circuit technology, at the same time.
The other applicationinvolves wireless wearable sensors able to detect and manage abnormal and unforeseen situations in Parkinson’s Disease by monitoring physical and physiological parameters, process data and share the information for remote access by authorized subjects.
