Development of an implantable device to monitor lactate levels in blood: Monitoring the Performance of Australian athletes using Biosensor Technology

体育是社会和经济投资的一个关键领域。采用植入式生物传感器的新型医疗监测系统将确保澳大利亚运动员的最佳训练计划，并保持国际竞争力。在这里，我们正在开发一种生物传感器，用于实时监测运动员的乳酸水平，使用前沿多孔半导体技术和智能遥测协议，将读数传输到远程基础单元。这些高度创新的设备和制造它们的材料在生物医学工程中具有巨大的商业潜力。通过结合工程、化学和纳米结构材料方面的专业知识，澳大利亚在这一领域有很大的潜力。

Sport is a critical area for social and economic investments. Novel medical monitoring systems using implantable biosensors will ensure optimal training programs for Australian athletes and maintain international competitiveness. Here we are developing a biosensor for real-time monitoring of lactate levels in athletes using frontier porous semiconductor technology and smart telemetry protocols to transfer the readings to a remote base unit. These highly innovative devices and the materials that they are made from have enormous commercial potential in biomedical engineering. There is a strong potential for Australia to have an important stake in this area by combining expertise in engineering, chemistry and nanostructured materials.
