  2. 1. A Fully Integrated Microneedle-based Transdermal Drug Delivery System

    Author : Niclas Roxhed; Göran Stemme; Mark G. Allen; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microneedle; Transdermal; Intradermal; Drug delivery; DRIE; MEMS; Microsystem; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Patch-based transdermal drug delivery offers a convenient way to administer drugs without the drawbacks of standard hypodermic injections relating to issues such as patient acceptability and injection safety. However, conventional transdermal drug delivery is limited to therapeutics where the drug can diffuse across the skin barrier. READ MORE

  4. 2. Novel Approaches to Treatment and Prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy

    Author : Lina Nordquist; Mats Sjöquist; Peter Bergsten; William J. Welch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; Diabetes; Nephropathy; C-peptide; Microneedle; Renal; GFR; Oxygen Consumption; Reabsorption; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Several studies have reported beneficial effects of C-peptide supplementation in diabetic patients and animal models of insulinopenic diabetes. However, it is also established that good glycemic control is essential to minimize the risk of diabetes-induced complications. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hybrid antibacterial microneedle patches against skin infections

    Author : Jill Ziesmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a major healthcare burden that has increased in incidence since the beginning of the 21st century resulting in an annual spending of approximately 15 b$ in 2012 in the United States (US).1 Treatment of SSTIs is complex and typically involves the administration of antibiotics.

  6. 4. Flexible and Stretchable Biointerfacing for Healthcare Diagnostics

    Author : Mina Rajabi; Niclas Roxhed; Pelle Rangsten; KTH; []
    Keywords : Wearable biointerfacing sensor; flexible and stretchable microneedles patch; wearable microneedles device; health and fitness monitoring; minimally invasive ICP monitoring; bioelectronics; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Flexible and stretchable wearable biomedical devices provide a platform for continues long-term monitoring of biological signals during neutral body movements thus enabling early intervention and diagnostics of various diseases. This thesis evaluates novel flexible and stretchable bio interfacing medical devices based on microneedle patches and split ring resonator for healthcare diagnostics. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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
