Blood Cholesterol Monitoring With Smartphone as Miniaturized Electrochemical Analyzer for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems
Yusheng Fu, Jinhong Guo

Abstract

Currently, cardiovascular diseases become one of the major threat to human's life. The early prevention of cardiovascular diseases plays a critical role in the healthcare engineering. Point of care monitoring the blood lipid level is capable of making the positive contribution to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Ubiquitous smartphones paved the way as the flexible and widespread platform for the interaction of various health information. In this manuscript, we report the world's first medical smartphone as an electrochemical analyzer for blood lipid monitoring. Integrating an electrochemical analyzer into a smartphone allows us to measure the current generated by the enzymatic reaction with the total cholesterol test strip. The disposable test strip is used to convert the biochemical signal to electrical signal through the electrochemical reaction. The proposed medical smartphone can provide accurate evaluation of patient's blood lipid level as compared to the clinical biochemical analyzer. The proposed medical smartphone system is a promising platform as a point-of-care device for blood total cholesterol (TC) monitoring, which can be applied for long-term prevention of cardiovascular disease due to its portability, re...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
