研究目的
To review recent progress in organic transistor-based chemical sensors that detect various chemical species in the human body or the surrounding environment, which will be the core elements of wearable electronic devices.
研究成果
Organic transistor-based chemical sensors are envisioned to facilitate point-of-care health monitoring and enable saving lives and disease prevention with interdevice communication. Combined with the physical sensor technologies, wearable chemical sensors are expected to construct useful diagnostic data for human health monitoring and future nano?bio information technologies.
研究不足
The long-term stability of the chemical sensors is a critical issue in organic sensors because the sensing layer is generally exposed to the external environment in order to interact with target analytes. Selectivity toward certain target analytes can easily be decreased in the real operating environment, because various surrounding factors may interfere with the sensing results.
