Research abstract
To meet the demands of the A20B-T021 SBIR solicitation (“Physiological Status Monitoring Nanorobotics”), we propose an ingestible sensor which utilizes a novel self-powered sensing approach. The sensor is both powered by and senses metabolites in the digestive system. Physiological data is streamed to a nearby end user device for data capture and visualization. Our approach leverages scaled CMOS technology to meet the power, size, and cost requirements for an ingestible, disposable sensor. During Phase I, we performed a study involving analysis, modeling, and simulation to design, fabricate, and test a preliminary prototype of the proposed sensor. During Phase II, we aim to demonstrate the sensor’s capabilities through animal model in-vivo testing in addition to iterating upon the prototype, focusing on sensor miniaturization, enhancing sensing capabilities, and system level platform development.
