Abstract: The disclosed invention includes methods to employ wearable biosensing devices to accomplish the following: 1) screen for the presence of a disease or infection, including pre-symptomatic detection, and determination of the type (e.g., viral, bacterial, or fungal) of disease or infection present; 2) confirm the antigen and monitor the progress of an active infection; and 3) monitor the efficacy of a treatment program for a disease or infection. Such methods rely on the detection, in sweat or other biofluids, of proteins, nucleotides, DNA polymerases, proteases, group-specific antigens, antibodies, cytokines, or other molecules, that are produced by the body as part of the innate or adaptive immune responses to an infectious agent, or the infectious agent itself, its products, or derivatives. Some embodiments comprise a method of using such a biosensing device as a biosentinel against biological threats.

Abstract: Electrochemical aptamer-based biosensing devices and methods are described herein that are configured to produce a detectible signal upon target analyte interaction, with reduced reliance on a conformational change by the aptamer. The disclosure includes embodiments of docked aptamer EAB sensors for measuring the presence of a target analyte in a biofluid sample. The sensors include an electrode capable of sensing redox events, and a plurality of aptamer sensing elements with aptamers selected to interact with a target analyte. Each aptamer sensing element includes a molecular docking structure attached to the electrode, and an analyte capture complex that includes an aptamer releasably bound to the docking structure, and an electroactive redox moiety. Upon the aptamer binding with a target analyte, the analyte capture complex separates from the docking structure. The separation of the analyte capture complex from the docking structure produces a positional change in the redox moiety that is detectable by the sensing device on interrogation of the electrode.

Abstract: The disclosed invention addresses an unmet need of biofluid analysis by utilizing the presence of certain nucleotides, e.g., microDNA, eccDNA, DNA fragments, microRNA, RNA fragments, and peptides, in a sample biofluid, such as eccrine sweat, apocrine sweat, blood, serum, saliva or tears, to perform a number of physiological sensing functions. Specifically, the present disclosure provides: (1) a device and method of determining whether a biofluid sensing device is being worn by a specific individual based on a measurement of nucleotides in a biofluid; (2) a device and method of recognizing at least one physiological disease or condition based on nucleotide concentrations, ratios, or trends in a biofluid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a biofluid sensing device capable of concentrating a biofluid sample with respect to a target analyte, so that the analyte can be accurately detected or measured by EAB sensors. Methods for using such a device provide qualitative information about the presence of the analyte, and/or quantitative information about relative concentrations of the analyte in the biofluid. The disclosed device includes a concentration channel for concentrating the biofluid sample, as well as a selectively permeable membrane, one or more EAB sensors, and one or more secondary sensors carried on a water-impermeable substrate. A method for using the disclosed device to collect a biofluid sample, concentrate the sample relative to a target analyte, and measure the target analyte is also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed invention includes integrative electrochemical aptamer-based sensors for use in wearable biofluid sensing devices. The disclosed integrative EAB sensors are configured to detect very low concentrations of target analytes in a sweat or biofluid sample by aggregating signals from individual sensing elements over time until a signal threshold is reached. Signal aggregation is accomplished through various retention structures that extend the time sensing elements retain target analyte molecules. Embodiments include attaching complementary primers and functional groups to the aptamer, covering such retention structures with blockers until analyte capture, or coating the sensor electrode with a hydrophilic and hydrophobic monolayer. The invention also includes methods of using the disclosed integrative sensors. Some embodiments of the disclosed method include tracking time to signal threshold to estimate analyte concentration.
