Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
This course will provide students with the basic introduction of physical, chemical, and biological sensors. The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic design and working principles of various biomedical sensors that are currently used in biomedical research and the healthcare industry. Recent advances and trends of biosensing technologies and future biosensing platforms will also be discussed.
Results/Contributions

Students in this course have learned relevant knowledge and skills about biosensors, understanding how to utilize them in health and disease management. The course covers the basic principles, types, and functions of biosensors, as well as their applications in the medical field, enabling students to leverage them in future research and professional careers.

The course describes the definition of biosensors, including device composition and operating principles. Through practical laboratory cases, they have learned how to utilize biosensors to monitor various biochemical indicators in the human body, such as blood glucose, cholesterol, and other important physiological parameters, which are crucial for early disease diagnosis and management.

Furthermore, the course delves into innovative applications of biosensors in non-invasive diagnostics, such as analyzing body fluids like breath, saliva, and sweat to detect health conditions. Students have learned how to integrate these technologies to develop more user-friendly and sensitive health monitoring systems.

Finally, through team discussions, students have not only strengthened their teamwork skills but also enhanced their problem-solving abilities when encountering technical issues. By the end of the semester, students are able to effectively evaluate and apply modern biosensing technologies to address public health issues.
