Imagine a tiny, plastic-like sticker that can tell you exactly what's happening inside a medical tube or a drug-making tank. It acts like a multi-tool, measuring things like temperature and pressure without needing a battery or wires. It's designed to be cheap and disposable, so it can be swapped out easily without contaminating the process.
Medical and pharma processes lack affordable, non-invasive sensing at the 'edge' (e.g., inside a tube). Current sensors are too bulky, expensive, and require power sources, making them impractical for disposable use.
A 'Smart Disposable multisensor' based on a polymeric multilayered matrix. It is a system-on-a-plastic-chip (SoPC) that measures 6 physical parameters wirelessly.
If you are a biotech drug producer dealing with the high cost of monitoring cell cultures or drug formulation — this project developed a smart disposable multisensor that provides robust sensing of 6 parameters including pH and turbidity to lower environmental footprints.
If you are a medical tubing manufacturer dealing with the lack of real-time feedback on patient respiratory status or infusion occlusions — this project developed a system-on-a-plastic-chip that transforms simple infusion lines into smart products.
If you are a transport provider dealing with the need for non-invasive monitoring of sensitive fluids in plastic bags — this project developed a wireless, battery-less multisensor that integrates directly into plastic components.
The multisensor is designed to be cost-efficient and can be fabricated in mass production facilities, reducing the expense typically associated with integrating complex sensors into disposable products.
Yes, the project data explicitly states that DETERMINATION can be fabricated in mass production facilities using conventional plastic integration techniques.
Based on available project data, the technology is developed by EZMEMS LTD, but specific licensing terms or patent numbers are not provided in the summary.
The system uses energy harvesting, meaning it requires no battery and no wires to provide wireless connectivity at the edge.
The chip can assess 6 key parameters: pressure, flow, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, and pH.
The project is led by a single SME, EZMEMS LTD from Israel, with a 100% industry ratio. This indicates a highly focused, commercially-driven effort with no academic overhead, aimed at rapid productization of the multisensor technology.
