    摘要: A method comprising receiving a blood pressure waveform from a sensor and deriving initial values. The method may further comprise deriving a diastolic transit time (DTT) value and a plurality of additional properties from the waveform. The method may further comprise calculating a calibration factor based on the DTT values and the additional properties. The method may further comprise calculating estimated DBP values based on the calibration factor, the DTT values, and the additional properties. The method may further comprise deriving an offset value based on a difference between the estimated DBP values and the raw DBP values, adjusting the blood pressure waveform based on the offset to generate an adjusted blood pressure waveform, and outputting the adjusted blood pressure waveform.

    摘要: A sensor including a flexible substrate, a conductor disposed on the flexible substrate, and a hydrophilic surface coating disposed on the conductor. The flexible substrate and the conductor form wrinkle as a result of the substrate being shrunk. The hydrophilic surface coating is disposed in, e.g., fills, the wrinkles or covers surface areas of the conductor within invaginations of the wrinkles. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the sensor and methods of detecting an amount of an analyte in an aqueous solution. Methods of detecting an amount of analyte can include contacting the sensor with an aqueous solution, and detecting an electrical signal with the sensor, wherein the electrical signal is indicative of the amount of the analyte.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to methods and devices for measuring samples, such as biological samples, especially those at low abundance, with high sensitivity and at low cost. A sample is disposed on a shrinkable scaffold and the shrinkable scaffold is shrunk, reducing the area where the sample is distributed, so as to effectively concentrate the sample on the surface of the scaffold. In the event that a biological sample is covalently attached to a scaffold having a silica structure, the increase in signal enhancement is also due to optical effects stemming from covalent linkage of the biological sample onto the silica structure of the scaffold. Silica (SiO2) may be deposited onto a surface of a polymer film by functionalizing the surface of the polymer film to bind silica from a sol-gel solution, and coating the film with a sol-gel solution containing silica precursors, wherein solid silica from the sol-gel solution is deposited onto the surface of the polymer film. Also disclosed is an immunoassay platform comprising a silica-encapsulated first detection agent deposited on a polymer substrate.

    摘要: This disclosure provides a diagnostic system including a detection zone adapted to receive a volume of biological fluid. The detection zone includes a plurality of micro-scale and nano-scale features that render the detection zone superhydrophobic. Analytes (e.g., proteins and/or other molecules) are concentrated when the volume of biological fluid is allowed to evaporate on the detection zone. Concentrating the analytes in the detection zone by evaporation can advantageously increase the sensitivity of detection of the analyte. In various implementations, microfluidic channels can be integrated with the diagnostic system to convey the volume of biological fluid to the detection zone. In various implementations, the microfluidic channels can have a lower hydrophobic characteristic than the surrounding to realize self-driven microfluidic channels that convey the biological fluid to the detection zone without using any external devices.
