From wires to waves, a novel sensor system for in vivo pressure monitoring. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7570. [PMID: 38555360 PMCID: PMC10981663 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58019-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Pressure monitoring in various organs of the body is essential for appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In almost all situations, monitoring is performed in a hospital setting. Technological advances not only promise to improve clinical pressure monitoring systems, but also engage toward the development of fully implantable systems in ambulatory patients. Such systems would not only provide longitudinal time monitoring to healthcare personnel, but also to the patient who could adjust their way-of-life in response to the measurements. In the past years, we have developed a new type of piezoresistive pressure sensor system. Different bench tests have demonstrated that it delivers precise and reliable pressure measurements in real-time. The potential of this system was confirmed by a continuous recording in a patient that lasted for almost a day. In the present study, we further characterized the functionality of this sensor system by conducting in vivo implantation experiments in nine female farm pigs. To get a step closer to a fully implantable system, we also adapted two different wireless communication solutions to the sensor system. The communication protocols are based on MICS (Medical Implant Communication System) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) communication. As a proof-of-concept, implantation experiments in nine female pigs demonstrated the functionality of both systems, with a notable technical superiority of the BLE.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes, and other layered compounds, are the subject of intense theoretical and experimental research for applications in a wide range of advanced technological solutions, given their outstanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. In the context of food science and technology, their contributions are starting to appear, based on the advantages that two-dimensional nanostructures offer to agricultural- and food-related key topics, such as sustainable water use, nano-agrochemicals, novel nanosensing devices, and smart packaging technologies. These application categories facilitate the grasping of the current and potential uses of such advanced nanomaterials in the field, backed by their advantageous physical, chemical, and structural properties. Developments for water cleaning and reuse, efficient nanofertilizers and pesticides, ultrasensitive sensors for food contamination, and intelligent nanoelectronic disposable food packages are among the most promising application examples reviewed here and demonstrate the tremendous impact that further developments would have in the area as the fundamental and applied research of two-dimensional nanostructures continues. We expect this work will contribute to a better understanding of the promising characteristics of two-dimensional nanomaterials that could be used for the design of novel and feasible solutions in the agriculture and food areas. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Role of Nanomaterials in the Fabrication of bioNEMS/MEMS for Biomedical Applications and towards Pioneering Food Waste Utilisation. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:nano12224025. [PMID: 36432311 PMCID: PMC9692896 DOI: 10.3390/nano12224025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
bioNEMS/MEMS has emerged as an innovative technology for the miniaturisation of biomedical devices with high precision and rapid processing since its first R&D breakthrough in the 1980s. To date, several organic including food waste derived nanomaterials and inorganic nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, gold, and magnetic nanoparticles) have steered the development of high-throughput and sensitive bioNEMS/MEMS-based biosensors, actuator systems, drug delivery systems and implantable/wearable sensors with desirable biomedical properties. Turning food waste into valuable nanomaterials is potential groundbreaking research in this growing field of bioMEMS/NEMS. This review aspires to communicate recent progress in organic and inorganic nanomaterials based bioNEMS/MEMS for biomedical applications, comprehensively discussing nanomaterials criteria and their prospects as ideal tools for biomedical devices. We discuss clinical applications for diagnostic, monitoring, and therapeutic applications as well as the technological potential for cell manipulation (i.e., sorting, separation, and patterning technology). In addition, current in vitro and in vivo assessments of promising nanomaterials-based biomedical devices will be discussed in this review. Finally, this review also looked at the most recent state-of-the-art knowledge on Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as nanosensors, nanoantennas, nanoprocessors, and nanobattery.
