WHAT IS A BIOSENSOR ?

Biosensor is an analytical device,which converts a biologicalResponse into electrical signal

COMPONENTSBiosensor Consists of 3

parts:

1. Biological component2. Physiochemical

component.3. Signal processor.

RING SENSOR. SMART SHIRT.

RING SENSOR

LED’s and Photodiodes.

First stage amplifier.

Sample and Hold circuit.

Signal Conditioner.

CPU.

RF Transmitter.

Hardware:

Applications:- Wireless supervision of people during hazardous

operations.

In an overcrowded emergency department.

Chronic surveillance of abnormal heart failure.

In cardio-vascular disease for monitoring the

hyper tension.

Advantages:-

Continous monitoring.

Easy to use.

Reducing hospitalization fee.

Initial cost is high.

Limited number of physiological

parameters can be monitored.

DISADVANTAGES-

APPLICATIONS OF SMART SHIRT

ADVANTAGES:-

o Easy to wear and take

off.

o Continous monitoring

Initial cost is high.

Battery life is less.

DISADVANTAGES:-

FUTURE TRENDS:- Smart shirt technology opens up existing opportunities to develop adaptive & responsive systems that can think & act based on the user conditions stimuli & environment.

Certain individuals are susceptible to anaphylaxis reaction (an allergic reaction) when stung by a bee or spider and need a shot of adrenaline immediately to prevent further fatalities. by applying advancements in MEMS(Micro-Electrochemical systems) technology we can achieve that.

The Smarts shirt’s delta acquisition capabilities can be used to detect the condition when an individual is lapsing into a diabetic shock and this integrated feedback mechanism can provide the appropriate response to prevent a fatality.

CONCLUSION:- It is anticipated that the smart shirt will bring personalized

and affordable healthcare monitoring to the population at large.Limitations:sensitivity and battery life. Advanced technologies such as the smart shirt have at partial to dramatically alter its landscape of healthcare deleivery and at practice of medicine as we know them today.it is leading to the realization of “Affordable healthcare, anyplace,anytime,anyone.
