Dr Martyn Boutelle - Brain metabolism and monitoring extracellular neurochemistry with high time resolution by use of microelectrodes and on-line microdialysis. MEMS sensors could enable design and production of smaller, smarter and low-priced medical devices. Modern biomedical sensors developed with advanced microfabrication and signal processing techniques . One of the most primitive inborn functions, which every organism on this planet possesses, is the ability to sense their surrounding environment, which should be taken as the first clue that the sensory . Biological properties can be measured and altered using electronics, magnetics, photonics, sensors , circuits, and algorithms.

Applications range from basic biological science to clinical medicine, and enable new discoveries, diagnoses, and treatments by creating novel circuits, devices, systems, and analyses. Coté, Senior Member, IEEE, Ryszard M. Lec, Member, IEEE, and Michael V. Recently, a wide variety of biomedical sensors such as fluid flow sensors, ultrasound sensors, chemical analysis sensors, biomaterial-based sensors, wearable biomedical sensors and wireless biomedical sensors has been used in modern medicine. This Special Issue shall concentrate on wearable sensors for the monitoring of vital signs, motion, and other body-related information. They do not only prevent the risk of . Application of biomedical sensors for monitoring of drinking water: quantitative measurement of dissolved oxygen, pH, free chlorine, colour and turbidity. May they change the quality of life?
