This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop and commercialize a new generation of low-cost, disposable carbon dioxide gas sensors based on carbon nanotube sensor elements. The sensors will combine cutting-edge nanoelectronics with recognition chemistry coatings to make nanosensors that can measure carbon dioxide in breath (capnography). The sensors will be small enough to fit into the respiratory tube or nasal cannulae of patients requiring respiratory monitoring. This innovation will lower the cost of many surgical procedures and facilitate capnography monitoring in mobile and temporary settings by decoupling capnography from expensive, fixed monitoring equipment. The net benefits will include improved patient care and lower costs for healthcare providers. The project will take advantage of recent developments in fabricating hybrid nanotube-silicon transducers. This project will help move nanotechnology out of research laboratories into the commercial realm, thereby encouraging additional investment and overall R&D spending. Perhaps most important of all, the technology has the potential to make a small but important move toward lowered healthcare costs with improved patient care.

该小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发和商业化基于碳纳米管传感器元件的新一代低成本一次性二氧化碳气体传感器。这些传感器将尖端纳米电子学与识别化学涂层相结合，制造出可以测量呼吸中二氧化碳（二氧化碳图）的纳米传感器。这些传感器足够小，可以放入需要呼吸监测的患者的呼吸管或鼻插管中。这项创新将降低许多外科手术的成本，并通过将二氧化碳图与昂贵的固定监测设备分离，促进移动和临时环境中的二氧化碳图监测。净收益将包括改善患者护理和降低医疗保健提供者的成本。该项目将利用制造混合纳米管硅传感器的最新进展。该项目将有助于将纳米技术从研究实验室转移到商业领域，从而鼓励额外的投资和总体研发支出。 也许最重要的是，该技术有潜力在降低医疗成本和改善患者护理方面做出微小但重要的举措。
