dc.description.abstract | Fiber-based medical devices have the potential to contribute to both research and clinical applications through their multifunctionalities, material properties, compact sizes, and customizable geometries. This thesis discusses current developments and testing of such devices. A minimally invasive interstitial fluid glucose biosensor as well as a wearable sweat sensing glucose biosensor are presented. Moreover, a conductive fiber design is evaluated for pH sensing and integrative capabilities. Additional work and future areas of interest are discussed, exploring the versatility and reach of fiber-based devices. | en |

This thesis discusses current developments and testing of such devices. A minimally invasive glucose biosensor for implantation under the skin as well as a wearable sensor for detecting glucose in sweat are presented. Moreover, a conductive fiber design is evaluated for pH sensing and integrative capabilities. Additional work and future areas of interest are discussed, exploring the versatility and reach of fiber-based devices. | en |
