Combined biosensors

The article presents the development of the design of sensitive elements of reusable sensors for simultaneous registration of parameters of vital systems of the human body and experimental verification of the technical features of prototype samples.

The author uses methods of designing and manufacturing multilayer printed circuit boards, 3D modeling of the sensors design and their interface with existing solutions. Computational methods are also applied to the dependence model of sensor features on changes in temperature and concentration of the measured substances. Moreover, an experimental approbation of an experimental batch of sensors is carried out.

The research suggests technical solutions for the design of sensors for simultaneous registration of several parameters of the human body in long-term monitoring of vital systems of the human body such as reusable combined electrodes "ECG temperature" and "ECG metabolism". Technological capabilities of the production of standard printed circuit boards are used for the manufacture of sensors, due to which the high manufacturability and low cost of sensors are achieved.

Sensors can be used both for short-term monitoring of a patients’ condition during functional and pharmacological tests and for long-term recording of parameters as part of wearable multi-channel human body monitoring systems.
