NON-INVASIVE WEARABLE SENSOR DEVICE FOR DETECTING BIOMARKERS IN SECRETION

A non-invasive wearable sensor device for detecting biomarkers in secretion according to this invention comprises a colorimetric sensor (1), an electrochemical sensor (2), an electrochemical detector and processor (3) and a housing (4). The housing (4) is formed such that allows the colorimetric sensor (1) and electrochemical sensor (2) to contact with the secretion directly and continuously during wearing of the sensor device. This sensor device provides high performance of secretion absorption and retention, leading to high sensitivity to detection of biomarkers using a trace level of secretion sample. This sensor device is developed for detecting biomarkers based on two techniques: the colorimetric sensor (1) which allows the user to interpret a result by comparing it with a standard col or chart, and the electrochemical sensor (2) which provides a digital readout result. This sensor device can be used or simultaneous detection of several biomarkers in the same secretion sample.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING TARGETED THERAPY

A computer-assisted medical device is configured and used to endoluminally navigate to a location in the gastrointestinal system and there treat certain body lumen wall areas while avoiding other body lumen wall areas. Embodiments ablate the inner mucosal layer and sub-mucosal nerve plexus of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum to effect treatment of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders, such as Type II diabetes (T2D), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Various sensors are used to assist a clinical operator to navigate from the mouth through the pyloric sphincter and into and through the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various sensors are used to map and identify portions of the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various lumen wall ablation devices and methods are described. Various post-treatment assessments are described.
