| 摘要: | Background
Nowadays, the monitoring of chronic disease became the main concern to prevent and reduce the number of new patients. In fact, companies started to develop new biosensors able to support the research for better diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare guidelines. The medical sector tends to develop alternative ways with wearable solutions to prevent critical situations, especially for patients with comorbidities. As this new market is creating a trend in the healthcare sector, researchers tried to improve their sensitivity and selectivity by trying different ways to fabricate them. Thanks to advanced laser technologies combined with graphene composites, the range of wearable sensors will become wider than previously, with a precision that will allow patients to have the opportunity at home to be monitored. In this thesis, all statements are inspired from the diabetes chips for blood/glucose continuous monitoring. Then, we highlight the achievement of laser technologies such as Three-Dimensional (3D) Printing, Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG), and Laser-Scribed Graphene (LSG) sensors for the detection of glucose with a focus on the performance and the working mechanism. Future developments in biosensors using lasers and smart detection of the diabetes disease and pre-diabetes state will be discussed here to give an overview of how wearable devicesare necessary at home.
Aims
Introducing major Advanced Laser Technologies to be able to draw the overview of the
advantages and issues of 3D printing, LIG, and LSG. Secondly, discussing the different graphene composites enabling to understand that we can create suitable design of chips thanks to the most recent laser technologies. Thirdly, analyzing the marketing opportunities of these technologies using graphene-based material and build up new perspectives for a potential future smart wearable device for diabetes and pre-diabetes populations.
Material and Methods
Through the research and reading of previous work on wearable devices performance,
development, and future opportunities, two literature reviews were done to establish
conclusions on the future perspectives of this new opportunity to monitor diabetes and the pre-diabetes population nowadays. The first part is composed of a literature review performed for gaining principles on the advanced laser technologies to give a “proof-of-concept summary” that will help us to understand their opportunity in the wearable device’s concept design. Through the extraction of information, the main results about existing solutions are presented to state the current knowledge and future needs. The second one is focused on marketing analysis of the actual and future market of the wearable devices for both the pre-diabetes and diabetes populations.
Results
On the first hand, LSG was identified as the most promising advanced laser technology
working with graphene composites combined with non-precious metal nanorods, to fabricate a better diabetes chip, with a better sensitivity and selectivity. The non-invasive criteria were the targeted point for the future monitoring of diabetic and pre-diabetic populations. On the other hand, providing some marketing and healthcare business aspects for the targeted segments and draw new opportunities for industries.
Conclusions
Provide a “proof-of-concept summary” on the inspiration of laser-related processes in
the creation of biomedical devices, for pre-diabetes and diabetes populations and give the reader some overview and essential marketing aspects on the biosensors for the real time disease monitoring and management through new homecare solutions. |
