NEW ORLEANS, March 19, 2018 \u2014 Up until now, local inflammation and scar tissue from the so-called \u201cforeign body response\u201d has prevented the development of in-body sensors capable of continuous, long-term monitoring of body chemistry. But today scientists are presenting results showing tiny biosensors that become one with the body have overcome this barrier, and stream data to a mobile phone and to the cloud for personal and medical use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile fitness trackers and other wearables provide insights into our heart rate, respiration and other physical measures, they don\u2019t provide information on the most important aspect of our health: our body\u2019s chemistry,\u201d explained Natalie Wisniewski, Ph.D. \u201cBased on our ongoing studies, tissue-integrated sensor technology has the potential to enable wearables to live up to the promise of personalized medicine, revolutionizing the management of health in wellness and disease.\u201d Dr. Wisniewski, who leads the team of biosensor developers, is the chief technology officer and co-founder of Profusa Inc., a San Francisco Bay Area-based life science company.<\/p>\n
