Abstract:
A method for measuring skin by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure comprises: an operation of irradiating at least one light into skin to which a patch is adhered; an operation of detecting at least one reflected light on the basis of an amount of moisture in the skin, which is changed by physiologically active substances injected through the patch, corresponding to the irradiated light; an operation of generating patch adherence information indicating a skin adhesive state of the patch on the basis of the detection result of the at least one reflected light; and an operation of providing the generated patch adherence information to an output unit or a communication unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a glucose measuring apparatus including a pressure measurer hat measures a pressure applied to an object, a near infrared ray (NIR) irradiator that irradiates an NIR to the object if the measured pressure is greater than or equal to a preset value, an NIR receiver that receives at least one of an NIR reflected from the object, a scattered NIR, and an NIR that penetrated the object, and an analyzer that measures the blood glucose level based on the received NIR.
Abstract:
A target material capturing filter is described herein. The target material capturing filter may include an inlet through which a fluid enters; an outlet through which at least a portion of the fluid is discharged; a first flow path that is connected to the inlet; a second flow path that is connected to the outlet; and a filter unit that is disposed between the first flow path and the second flow path and captures the target material by letting drop at least a portion of the fluid that flows through the first flow path.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, a microneedle patch may include: microneedles including a viscous composition; an adhesive sheet adhered to the skin; and a base sheet having the microneedles arranged thereon, wherein the shape of the microneedles has a spirally-twisted screw shape so as to have a first incline facing a first direction and a second incline facing a second direction, which is the direction opposite to the first direction, and the diameter of a base part facing the base sheet gradually decreases toward an end portion.
Abstract:
A cell capturing filter, in which cells or particles having a predetermined size or greater in a sample may be easily captured, and clogging of a flow passage due to the captured cells or particles may be prevented, and stresses acting on the captured cells or particles may be reduced, having a first surface and a second substrate having a second surface that is bonded to the first surface, wherein the first substrate may include a flow passage formed in the first surface of the first substrate so that a sample flows in the flow passage, and a barrier that protrudes across the flow passage, and the second substrate may include a fine groove formed in an area on the second surface corresponding to the barrier, and a gap may exist between a surface of the barrier and the fine groove.
Abstract:
A method of and an apparatus for measuring biometric information are provided. The method includes receiving an image of a biosensor including a reagent pad on which a sample is collected, and comparing brightness information of a reacting region of the reagent pad in the received image with reference brightness information in the received image to determine a value of a reagent reaction between the reagent pad and the sample.
Abstract:
A polypeptide linker comprising an antibody-binding region and an enzyme cleavage region, and related compositions, kits, and methods of using same.
Abstract:
A particle complex comprising a particle; a cleavable linker bound to a surface of the particle; and a macromolecule bound to the cleavable linker, wherein the macromolecule specifically binds to a surface marker of a target cell, and a method of isolating a target cell comprising same.
Abstract:
Provided is a rotatable microfluidic device for conducting simultaneously two or more assays. The device includes a platform which can be rotated, a first unit which is disposed at one portion of the platform and detects a target material from a sample using surface on which a capture probe selectively binds to the target material is attached, and a second unit which is disposed at another portion of the platform and detects a target material included in the sample by a different reaction from the reaction conducted in the first unit.
Abstract:
A blood glucose measurement apparatus includes: a control unit configured to determine a user's blood glucose level based on a concentration of body fluid secreted from the user; and a biometric information acquisition unit configured to acquire biometric information indicating a status of a user's autonomic nervous system. The control unit is configured to correct the determined blood glucose level based on the biometric information.
