Moisture in textile materials worn close to the skin greatly influences our daily comfort. The measurement of moisture in textile materials is therefore of great interest. For example, to determine the amount of perspiration in clothing or car seats, the wound fluid in dressings or even the urine in diapers or bed linen. All these applications requ...

Körpernahe Feuchtigkeitsmessungen in dünnen Textilschichten können aus verschiedenen Gründen von Interesse sein, z .B. um die Schweißmenge in Kleidung, Wundflüssigkeit in Verbänden oder auch Urin in Windeln zu bestimmen. Übliche elektrisch basierte Feuchtemessverfahren, wie Widerstandsmessung oder Kapazitätsmessung, können bei körpernahen Messungen...

In this work, we show a microtechnically manufactured sensor, which is optimized for thermal moisture measurement in thin textile materials. The measuring method makes it possible to significantly restrict the measuring volume or the layer thickness to be measured and thus effectively suppress environmental influences from outside. This method is f...

The measurement of the moisture condition in textile materials worn next to human skin can be performed for various reasons. These application scenarios have in common that the electronic system needs to be insensitive against ambient influences, wearable and portable. In this work a portable measurement setup based on the transient-heat moisture-s...

The measurement of moisture in textile materials worn on or near the skin can be performed for a variety of reasons, for example, to analyze the amount of perspiration in clothing, wound fluid in bandages or even urine in diapers or bed sheets. Conventional moisture measurement methods, such as electrical resistance or capacitance measurement, can...

In this work we present a low cost, minimally invasive, and chip-based near infrared (NIR) sensor, combined with subcutaneous microdialysis, for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The sensor principle is based on difference absorption spectroscopy in the 1st overtone band known to be dominated by glucose-specific absorption features. The device c...

Diabetes is a serious health condition considered to be one of the major healthcare epidemics of modern era. An effective treatment of this disease can be only achieved by reliable continuous information on blood glucose levels. In this work we present a minimally invasive, chip-based near infrared (NIR) sensor, combined with microdialysis, for con...

In this paper we describe the concept and in vivo results of a minimally invasive, chip-based near infrared (NIR) sensor, combined with microdialysis, for continuous glucose monitoring. The sensor principle is based on difference absorption spectroscopy in selected wavelength bands of the near infrared spectrum (1300nm, 1450nm, and 1550nm) in the 1...
