Future prospects of biosensor devices.

Challenges of Current Methods and Devices:   The use of boronic acid-based detection of glucose has been fundamental in developing colorimetric and fluorescent glucose detecting contact lens sensors that respond well to millimolar concentrations of glucose. However, the sensitivity of these has been found to decrease after incorporation into contact lenses. An issue with fluorescence-based detection systems is the choice of the fluorophore as photochemical stability is important for long periods of time in continuous monitoring cases, and many fluorophores display limited solubility in aqueous media. Additionally, lactate and other saccharides can be major interfering species in boronic acid sensors as concentrations for lactate range from 1 to 5 mm in the tear fluid. These issues affect both fluorescent and holographic sensors that utilize the boronic acid-binding to glucose for detection. Hence, further investigation into increasing the sensitivity and selectivity of boro...

Types of biosensors in contact lenses.

Introduction: The rapid advancement of technology has enabled the realization of personalized medicine. According to the global demographics of health reported by the World Health Organization, 75% of the world population is defined as sub-health, but only 20% needed to be hospitalized. As the sub-health population has become more concerned about their quality of life, the demand for so-called point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is rising. tear fluid contains relatively rich proteins that have been identified and share similar constituents to that of blood. This similarity is attributed to the plasma leakage across the blood-tear barrier and thus enables the development of biosensors that specifically target analytes within the tear fluid. Although blood testing remains second to none in the standard liquid biopsy, tear fluid can be collected in a non-invasive way. This feature makes tear fluid a promising sample in some preliminary clinical tests. Followed by this concept, contact...

Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Pharmaceutical Industry.

Image
In today’s situations, companies never fail to grab a single market opportunity to make the business processes better, smarter, and more efficient. Artificial intelligence has been playing a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry and consumer healthcare business. From augmented intelligence applications such as disease identification and diagnosis, helping identify patients for clinical trials, drug manufacturing, and predictive forecasting, these technologies have proven critical . AI currently being applied in the pharmaceutical industry: 1.      Disease Identification/Diagnosis : It can range from oncology to Covid to degeneration in the eyes.  2.      Digital Therapeutics: This can be effectively used to assist and identify individuals to provide early insight into the condition – such as gum condition ,  accurately classify cutaneous skin disorders suggest primary treatment options with Over-the-counter med...
