Abstract

Decisions concerning patient care, which are routinely made by the attending physician, based on experience and clinical laboratory analyses, will eventually be supplemented or even replaced by real-time, quantified, health assessments from cutaneous and indwelling multisensor probes. These probes will employ a multitude of technologies including optical and solid state techniques for the precise measurement of body analytes such as blood gases, electrolytes, pH, glucose, etc. In addition to clinical monitoring, these sensors will also be used to provide feed-back for closed-loop therapeutic systems.

Currently, there are rapid advances being made in sensor technology and its application for the determination of various analytes. However, a major problem still remains at the device/body interface, especially when chronic implantation is required.
