Real-time Monitoring of Biomarkers: Current Status and Future Perspectives

To achieve unattended care through real-time monitoring, unmet technical demands remained are as follows: 1) (semi-)continuous drawings of venous blood without pains and infection, 2) (semi-)continuous separation of blood cells, 3) recyclable immunosorbent, 4) miniaturized, possibly, label-free sensor system, 5) in situ baseline correction algorithm, and 6) secure data transmission. For the time being, this may restrict the use of real-time monitoring techniques within a medical care unit. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study Group.
