A thorough understanding of metabolic processes in the human body is of essential importance for processes governing health and diseases as well as for the development of novel innovative treatment regimes. Therefore, it is the goal to implement flexible and miniaturized sensors in the human body to allow the continuous and quantitative monitoring of important parameters, such a glucose, lactate, and pH.
The upcoming nanosaminar will introduce two recent projects dealing with this drive. In the first part, the collaborative pilot project OralSens between our chair and the Policlinic of Operative and Pediatric Dentistry at UKD will be presented. The successful development and implementation of flexible sensors in the oral cavity for the continuous measurement of glucose, lactate and pH in saliva will be governed.
In a second approach, the EKFZ project EnhancedCatheters between our chair and the
Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine(UKD) will present the development and application of electrochemical sensors that can be placed on catheters to monitor chosen parameters continuously in the blood stream. A special focus lies on the development of hemocompatible but still working sensor surfaces.
