can be simple
if the application and the parameters that need to be monitored are
clearly understood. The most complicated sensors are implantables,
followed by sensors used in catheters (through incision) and sensors
used in body cavities, sensors that are external but come in contact
with body fluids and sensors for external applications

developed at the University of Cambridge is being
commercialised in the UK for use in rapid, low-cost DNA sequencing.
The system combines a solid-state nanopore with a technique known
as DNA origami, for use in DNA sequencing, protein sensing and other
applications.The technology has been licensed for development and
commercialisation by UK-based company Oxford Nanopore, which is
developing portable, low-cost DNA analysis sequencing devices
Dublin, Ireland-based
announced a seed round of about
€650,000 in funding from Kernel Capital, AIB Seed Capital Fund, and
Enterprise Ireland. Zinc is developing wearable health sensors, including
the Zen Sensor, which clips to a user’s ear lobe to collect heart rate
data. The Zen connects to an iPhone or iPad app to provide heart
rate variability biofeedback, which the company says can reduce blood
pressure and levels of stress hormones
