Microsystems based self-regulation diagnostics
The project is developing core enabling technologies for a new transdermal patch system capable of automatic patient diagnosis and responsive drug delivery.
Key technical objectives:
- To extract micro-litres of interstitial fluid from the skin via its pores for non-invasive diagnosis and use that information for controlled self-regulating drug release;
- Offer automatic feedback of patients condition to a physician/clinic for remote patient monitoring;
- Address key aspects of the design and manufacture of the patch system with respect to product functionality, miniaturisation, integration, and cost-effective GMP compliant volume manufacture.
