EAGER: Cartridge lab-on-chip (CLOC) for Mobile Health

项目编号：1445158机构：加州大学圣地亚哥分校移动医疗（mHealth）将移动技术用于卫生研究和卫生保健服务，与更普遍的电子卫生概念相结合，其中包括一系列处于医疗保健和信息技术前沿的服务，包括获取电子健康记录、电子处方、远程医疗和卫生信息学。实现便携式、可负担的医疗诊断平台将在全球范围内产生深远的影响。拟议的研究不仅将推进芯片实验室（LOC）系统的基础科学和技术，而且还将导致不需要外部光学元件的额外LOC的发展。该项目将设计和开发一种智能手机接口系统，该系统将使用医学传感和诊断平台（MSDP）和一次性芯片实验室（CLOC）生物芯片，实现快速、敏感、特异和可靠的测量。为了与先进的移动平台整合，他们将利用b谷歌的开放硬件平台Project Ara，利用Java编程语言，这是所有移动智能手机公司（包括谷歌的Android）普遍使用的语言。这种装置将包括使用廉价的、一次性的、通用的CLOC，发达国家和发展中国家都可以使用。MSDP将在芯片上进行检测，避免了对笨重检测设备的需求，为未来智能手机的真正便携式医疗诊断附加设备铺平了道路。

PI: Fainman, YeshaiahuProposal #: 1445158Institution: University of California-San DiegoEAGER: Cartridge lab-on-chip (CLOC) for Mobile HealthMobile health (mHealth) uses mobile technologies for health research and healthcare delivery in concert with the more general electronic health concept which encompasses a wide range of services that are at the cutting edge of healthcare and information technology, including access to electronic health records, electronic prescribing, telemedicine, and health informatics.The realization of a portable, affordable medical diagnostic platform will have a profound impact on the global level. The proposed research will not only advance the basic science and technology of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems, but will also lead to the development of additional LOCs that do not require external optical components. This project will design and develop a smartphone interface system that would enable rapid, sensitive, specific, and reliable measurements with simultaneous detection using a medical sensing and diagnostic platform (MSDP) with a disposable cartridge lab-on-a-chip (CLOC) biochip. For integration with advanced mobile platforms They will utilize Google's open hardware platform, Project Ara, exploiting Java programming language which is commonly used by all mobile smartphone companies, including Google's Android. This device will include the use of an inexpensive, single use, disposable and universal CLOC that would be available in both developed and developing countries. The MSDP will perform detection on-chip, obviating the need for bulky detection equipment, paving the way for a truly portable medical diagnostic add-on for future smartphones.
