  2. 1. Evaluation of biomedical microwave sensors : Microwave sensors as muscle quality discriminators in laboratory and pilot clinical trial settings

    Author : Viktor Mattsson; Robin Augustine; Mauricio Perez; Roger Karlsson; Ayca Özcelikkale; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microwave sensors; Sarcopenia; Muscle quality assessment; Biomedical applications; Tissue dielectric properties; Data-driven modelling; Clinical trials; EM Simulations; Phantom experiments; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Abstract : In this thesis the primary focus is on the evaluation of biomedical microwave sensor to be used in the muscle analyzer system. Lower muscle quality is one indicator that a patient can have sarcopenia. Therefore the muscle analyzer system can be a tool used in screening for sarcopenia. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Physical Axon : Modeling, Simulation and Electrode Evaluation

    Author : Malcolm Latorre; Karin Wårdell; Göran Salerud; Ulrich Hofmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Electrodes are used in medicine for detection of biological signals and for stimulating tissue, e.g. in deep brain stimulation (DBS). For both applications, an understanding of the functioning of the electrode, and its interface and interaction with the target tissue involved is necessary. READ MORE

  5. 3. Integrated microsystems for continuous glucose monitoring, interstitial fluid sampling and digital microfluidics

    Author : Federico Ribet; Niclas Roxhed; Göran Stemme; Boris Stoeber; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microelectromechanical systems MEMS ; biosensors; biomedical devices; continuous glucose monitoring CGM ; glucose sensors; microneedles; interstitial fluid sampling; minimally-invasive technologies; electrochemical sensors; heterogeneous integration; wire bonding; magnetic assembly; electrowetting-on-dielectric EWOD ; digital microfluidics; ionic liquids; gas sensors; optical switches; laser shutters.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Interdisciplinary research between medicine and microsystem engineering creates new possibilities to improve the quality of life of patients or to further enhance the performance of already existing devices. In particular, microsystems show great potential for the realization of biosensors and sampling devices to monitor bioanalytes with minimal patient discomfort. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of magnetic multi-core nanoparticles for biomedical applications

    Author : Vincent Schaller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

  7. 5. Data-Driven Methods for Microwave Sensor Devices in Musculoskeletal Diagnostics

    Author : Viktor Mattsson; Robin Augustine; Mauricio D. Perez; Roger Karlsson; Paul Meaney; Joseph Costantine; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Learning; Microwave Sensors; Data-Driven Modeling; Statistical Analysis; Maskininlärning; Mikrovågssensorer; Datadriven modellering; Statistisk Analys; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Abstract : Microwave sensors can be used within medicine as they use non-ionizing radiation, are often low cost, and can be designed for a specific purpose. The application of microwave sensors for diagnostics and monitoring can be improved using appropriate data analysis. The multi-layered structure of the human body makes the measurements on people complex. READ MORE
