New Bio-Chip Analyzes Blood Cholesterol & Sugar Levels And Sends It To Mobile
A team of Scientists from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne’s (EPFL) Integrated Systems Laboratory in Switzerland developed a biosensor chip that can be implanted under the skin to measure the pH and temperature,as well as the presence of blood cholesterol and sugar levels and then send the results straight to your phone.
“A simple plaster holds together the battery, the coil and a Bluetooth module used to send the results immediately to a mobile phone” Said Carrara. The device was presented at the International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) in Lisbon.And the chip was tested in vivo on mice at the Insistitute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) where the researchers were able to constantly monitor glucose and paracetamol levels.
“Knowing the precise and real-time effect of drugs on the metabolism is one of the keys to the type of personalized, precision medicine that we are striving for “ Said Carrara.
Researchers were said that the results were extremely promising and the clinical tests on humans could take place in 3 to 5 years, and the procedure is minimally invasive with the chip being implanted just under the first layer of the skin.

“This is the world’s first chip capable of measuring not just pH and temperature, but also metabolism-related molecules like glucose, lactate and cholesterol, as well as drugs” Said SandroCarra,a member of the EPFL research team.
The device measures one square centimeter and holds three main components with a circuit of six sensors,and a radio module with a control unit that analyses incoming signals.It also has an induction coil which draws power from an external battery attached to the skin with a plaster and the coil and a Bluetooth module were used to send the results to a mobile phone.
