A Novel Glucose Sensor Based on a Deflecting Membrane MEMS Device
Abstract
dc:descriptionSelf-monitoring of blood glucose has become an important and critical tool for effective management of patients with diabetes. This thesis describes a novel MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) sensor that can continuously measure, in real time, the concentration of glucose in a solution. The device utilizes a glucose-sensitive hydrogel membrane, which swells reversibly in the presence of a glucose containing solution. The amount of swelling is related to the concentration of glucose.
