An oral insert includes at least one pH sensor in electronic communication with a power source and a data transceiver. The pH sensor is exposed to fluids in the patient's mouth and measures the pH of the fluids to determine fluid composition.

In an example, a method of detecting cyanide exposure of an individual comprises measuring a thiocyanate level of the individual, and comparing the measured thiocyanate level to a preset thiocyanate threshold to determine whether the measured thiocyanate level is above the preset thiocyanate threshold indicating a level of cyanide poisoning requiring immediate medical assessment.

Disclose is a dry adhesive patch comprising: a plurality of embossed pillars formed on a substrate; a hemi-spherical adsorbing cup defining a top portion of each pillar, wherein a hemi-spherical hole is defined in a top portion of the adsorbing cup and is exposed to an outside; and an annular extension extending radially from an outer perimeter of a distal end of each adsorbing cup.

Conformable and wearable sensors with integrated on-chip gate for the detection of biomolecules, chemicals, and other substrates and applications thereof are provided. Biosensor chips can be built with In2O3 nanoribbon field-effect transistors. Biosensor chips can conform to features of a human body, enabling ability for individuals to wear a biosensor.

The method for estimating mental health and providing solution for mental health by learning psychological data and biological data based on machine learning includes: (a) acquiring, by mental health estimating device, psychological data for testing and biological data for testing of test subject from terminal of the test subject in state in which first estimated model is learned by referring to estimated mental health data for learning output from the first estimated model and ground truth mental health data corresponding to the estimated mental health data after psychological data for learning and biological data for learning of learning subjects are input to the first estimated model; and (b) inputting, by the mental health estimating device, the psychological data for testing and the biological data for testing to the first estimated model to allow the first estimated model to output estimated mental health data for testing.

An exemplary urinalysis device for non-clinical use is described as having: a housing; a touchscreen on the housing; a test strip holder, which is removably, slidably engaged with the housing; at least two light emitting diode (LED) light sources, housed in the housing and including a white LED and a red-blue-green (RBG) LED; a camera module housed in the housing, both the plurality of LEDs and the camera module directed to an illumination and detection zone; a timer system; and/or a computational system in electronic communication with the plurality of LEDs, the camera module and the timer system, the computational system including a processor and a memory. Related methods and systems also are described.

The embodiments disclose a method including providing impedimetric biosensor electrodes and circuits on a substrate, providing at least two different biopolymer materials on the conductive impedimetric biosensors electrodes and circuits, applying a predetermined electrical current to the impedimetric biosensor electrodes for establishing a baseline value, providing at least one biologic sample onto the impedimetric biosensors electrodes for detection of at least one disease microorganism, measuring the electrical current after contact with the at least one biologic sample for changes in the baseline value, recording changes in the electrical current measurements, analyzing the electrical current measurements for identifying predetermined detected disease microorganisms electrical current measurements changes, and determining the concentration of a detected disease microorganism.

A non-invasive method and apparatus utilizing a single wavelength (800 nm, isobestic) for the instantaneous, reflective, non-pulsatile spatially resolved reflectance system, apparatus and mathematics that allows for the correct determination of critical photo-optical parameters in vivo. Transcutaneous blood constituent (analyte or drug level) measurements can be determined in real-time. The “closed-form” nature of the mathematics with inclusion of other wavelengths (660 nm and 1300 nm) and a non-invasive transmissive array allows for immediate calculation and real-time display of Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, fractional tissue blood volume (Xb), Hematocrit-Independent Oxygen Saturation, fractional tissue water content (Xw) and other pertinent blood/plasma values in a variety of handheld or other like devices.

In some examples, a medical device includes an elongated body defining an inner lumen. The medical device further includes an anchoring member and a first sensor at a proximal portion of the elongated body, and a second sensor at a distal portion of the elongated body or distal to a distal end of the elongated body. The second sensor is configured to sense a substance of interest and the elongated body comprises a material that is a substantially non-permeable to the substance of interest.

A volumetric sampling apparatus for volatile compounds comprises a structure, such as a channel structure that forms a continuous curve between the inlet port and the outlet port. A gas flow induced in the structure urges volatile compounds collected via transdermal diffusion toward the outlet port, where the volatile compounds may be collected and analyzed by a gas composition analyzer coupled to the outlet port.
