摘要: Body-mountable devices are provided to detect the presence or status of a tumor in a body by detecting one or more properties of a probe located in subsurface vasculature of the body. A wearable body-mountable device can be worn for a protracted period of time to detect a probe in the vasculature at low concentrations and/or at low rates. A body-mountable device can detect properties of the probe that are indicative of whether the probe has interacted with a tumor of the body and determine the presence or status of a tumor in the body based on such detected properties. Additionally or alternatively, the probe could be introduced into the body as a probe aggregate and released from if the probe aggregate is absorbed by a tumor. The presence of released probes could be detected to determine a presence or status of a tumor in the body.

摘要: Devices are provided that include a plurality of microneedles that penetrate skin and that receive interstitial fluid from the skin tissue. The microneedles are further configured to direct the received interstitial fluid to nanosensors configured to change an optical property based on interaction with an analyte in the received interstitial fluid, allowing optical detection of the analyte. Direction of the received interstitial fluid to the nanosensors can be facilitated by a pump configured to control the flow rate of the interstitial fluid through the microneedles. Such devices could be configured to detect the analyte independently or in combination with a reader device configured to be periodically mounted to the devices and to detect the analyte. Further, such devices can include delivery systems configured to transdermally deliver a drug or other substance into or through the skin in response to a detected concentration, presence, or other property of the analyte.

摘要: A system for modulating a response signal includes aptamer conjugates, e.g., aptamer-particle conjugates, configured to bind with target analytes, a detector configured to detect an analyte response signal transmitted from the body, a modulation source configured to modulate the analyte response signal, and a processor configured to non-invasively detect the one or more target analytes by differentiating the analyte response signal from a background signal, at least in part, based on the modulation. The analyte response signal is related to the binding interaction of the target analytes with the aptamer-particle conjugates. In some examples, the system may also include magnetic particles and a magnetic field source sufficient to distribute the magnetic particles into a spatial arrangement in the body. The analyte response signal may be differentiated from the background signal, at least in part, based on modulation of the signals due, at least in part, to the spatial arrangement of the magnetic particles.

摘要: A light source emits light into a first portion of a living body. Functionalized particles within the body are configured to specifically bind to a target analyte, and upon receiving the emitted light, undergo a reaction that separates a detectable label from the functionalized particle. A sensor device is configured to detect a response signal from a second portion of the living body that is indicative of an abundance of the detectable label in the second portion. A control system uses the sensor device to obtain sensor data indicative of the response signal from the second portion of the living body detected by the sensor device during a measurement interval, and determines a presence or absence of the target analyte within the first portion of the living body based in part on the obtained data.

摘要: Methods are provided to identify spatially and spectrally multiplexed probes in a biological environment. Such probes are identified by the ordering and color of fluorophores of the probes. The devices and methods provided facilitate determination of the locations and colors of such fluorophores, such that a probe can be identified. In some embodiments, probes are identified by applying light from a target environment to a spatial light modulator that can be used to control the direction and magnitude of chromatic dispersion of the detected light; multiple images of the target, corresponding to multiple different spatial light modulator settings, can be deconvolved and used to determine the colors and locations of fluorophores. In some embodiments, light from a region of the target can be simultaneously imaged spatially and spectrally. Correlations between the spatial and spectral images over time can be used to determine the color of fluorophores in the target.
