Recently, researches on sensor-based U-health applications that provide personal health information such as blood pressure, body temperature, and glucose, have actively been studied. The health information obtained via sensors, however, may have accuracy problems so that they can not be used unprocessed. This paper proposes a sensor abstraction layer for enhancing the accuracy of sensor readings from biomedical sensors that interact with smart phones. This layer recognizes sensor types and converts sensor readings into a form as specified in ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Standard. When necessary, not only a filtering method that eliminates outlier values from sensor readings but also a summarization method that transforms them into more suitable forms, can also be applied. An android-based development board is used for the evaluation of proposed sensor abstraction layer. The results obtained by applying filtering and summarization show improved accuracy over unprocessed sensor readings of the body temperature and heartbeat sensors.

The development of a portable system to be used by diabetes patients and renal discase patients is needed to monitor their urea concentration and their glucose concentration in blood. This paper reports a compound sensor composed of a urea sensor, a glucose sensor and a micro-channel. This paper also reports the development of a portable measurement system to measure the concentrations, display the values, and save the values to be used by doctors.

The Multiple vital signs management system using Mobil phone is designed with Wireless sensor network and CDMA which are integrated to create a wide coverage to support various environments like inside and outside of hospital. Health signals from medical sensor node are analysed in cell phone first for real time signal analyses and then the abnormal vital signs are sent and save to hospital server for detail signal processing and doctor's diagnosis. We developed integrated vital access processor of sensor node to use selective medical interface(ECG, Blood pressure and sugar module) and control the self-organizing network of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network. chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes is able to check using graph view in mobile phone.

The bio-Sensors, which are sensing the vital signs of human bodies, are largely used by the medical equipment. Recently, the sensor network technology, which composes of the sensor interface for small-seize hardware, processor, the wireless communication module and battery in small sized hardware, has been extended to the area of bio-senor network systems due to the advances of the MEMS technology. In this paper we have suggested a design and implementation of a health care information system(called u-EMS) using a bio-sensor network technology that is a combination of the bio-sensor and the sensor network technology. In proposed system, we have used the following vital body sensors such as EKG sensor, the blood pressure sensor, the heart rate sensor, the pulse oximeter sensor and the glucose sensor. We have collected various vital sign data through the sensor network module and processed the data to implement a health care measurement system. Such measured data can be displayed by the wireless terminal(PDA, Cell phone) and the digital-frame display device. Finally, we have conducted a series of tests which considered both patient's vital sign and context-awared information in order to improve the effectiveness of the u-EMS.

Redox complexes to transport electrons from enzyme to electrodes are very important part in glucose sensor. Pentacyanoferrate-bound aniline ($Fe(CN)_5$-aminopyridine), was prepared as a potential redox mediator in a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)-glucose sensor. The synthesized pyridyl-$NH_2$ to pentacyanoferrate was characterized by the electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. A amperometric enzyme-linked electrode was developed based on GDH, which catalyses the oxidation of glucose. Glucose was detected using GDH that was co-immobilized with an $Fe(CN)_5$-aminopyridine and gold nano-particles (AuNPs) on ITO electrodes. The $Fe(CN)_5$-aminopyridine and AuNPs immobilized onto ITO electrodes provided about a two times higher electrochemical response compared to that of a bare ITO electrode. As glucose was catalyzed by wired GDH, the electrical signal was monitored at 0.4 V versus Ag/AgCl by cyclic voltammetry. The anode currents was linearly increased in proportion to the glucose concentration over the 0~10 mM range.

본 논문은 혈당, 콜레스테롤센서에 적용이 가능한 과산화수소($H_2O_2$) 검출방식인 전기화학발광(Electrochemiluminescence:ECL)법 사용에 필요한 전극특성에 관한 연구이다. 전기화학전극으로 Pt박막전극을 사용하였으며, luminol(5-amino-2, 3-dihydro-1, 4-phthala edione)과 과산화수소($H_2O_2$)의 반응으로 발생한 빛을 포토다이오드(photodiode)를 사용하여 전류를 측정하였다. 사용된 전극은 직사각형(rectangular-type), 교차형(interdigitated-type)의 두 가지 형태를 사용하여, 전극간의 거리와 면적에 따른 ECL특성을 측정하였다. ECL 발광 특성은 전극 면적이 증가함에 따라, 전극거리가 감소함에 따라 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었다.

A new method for enzyme immobilization has been developed to remove interference by potential interferents in body fluids. Instead of using electron mediators, we chose direct hydrogen peroxide measurement route. Extremely hydrogen peroxide-selective polymer was coated as an inner membrane to exclude interferents and then glucose oxidase(GOx) was entrapped by electropolymerization of inert monomers. There was no solvent casting step throughout the whole fabrication procedure but all membranes on Pt-Ir electrode were formed by electropolymerization. Thus, membrane thickness, quantity of enzyme loaded and can be controlled by electrochemical parameters. As a result, reproducibility of biosensor characteristics becomes remarkably improved in terms of mass production.

In this paper, we developed an electrochemical glucose sensor strip using a paper substrate. The paper glucose sensor strip is eco-friendly because it uses paper as a substrate, and it has the advantage that it can be manufactured only with four printing, drying and cutting processes. The paper glucose sensor is significantly simplified by the production process than the conventional glucose sensors because the production of only four printing on the paper substrate. In this paper, eco-friendly tracing paper was used to develop a paper glucose sensor strip, and screen-printing technology was used to form a carbon/silver electrode, insulating layer and glucose oxidase(GOD) layer. The developed paper glucose sensor strip has a flat structure with a size of 30 × 4.6 ㎟, and blood injection is a type of direct contact with the exposed enzyme layer above the strip. In this paper, the performance of paper glucose sensor strips was evaluated by analyzing the cyclic voltammetry(CV) and chronoamperometry(CA) characteristics.
