  • In order to protect human lives from disease, various biosensors having the potential to analyze a variety of biomolecules have been utilized. Biosensors constitute one of the most promising ways to monitor and detect various biomolecules corresponding to diseases. In this study, we demonstrate that the reaction of streptavidin molecules with biotin on a gold electrode can be detected using the twoelectrode method with a gold electrode and a platinum reference electrode. We also show the characteristics of the electrical current response. While detecting 2-${\mu}M$ streptavidin molecules dissolved in phosphate buffered saline(PBS) solution, we found that an analytical biosensor can operate on the principle of detecting an antigen-antibody reaction event of protein molecules using the two-electrode method. We think that the "potential step" method might be useful to detect the occurrence of any antigen-antibody reactions and can be combined with other devices or ICs such as BJTs, MOSFETs, and OP-amps for the detection of biomolecules of diseases.

  • Nano and micro structure-based biosensors are promising tool for label-free detection of biomolecular interactions with great accuracy. This review gives a brief survey on nano and micro platforms to sense a variety of analytes such as DNA, proteins and viruses. Among incredible nano and micro structure for bio-analytical applications, the scope of this paper will be limited to micro and nano resonators and nanowire field-effect transistors. Nanomechanical motion of the resonators transducers biological information to readable signals. They are commonly combined with an optical, capacitive or piezo-resistive detection systems. Binding of target molecule to the modified surface of nanowire modulates the current of the nanowire through electrical field-effect. Both detection methods have advantages of label-free, real-time and high sensitive detection. These structures can be extended to fabricate array-type sensors for multiplexed detection and high-throughput analysis. The biosensors based on these structures will be applied to lab-on-a-chip platforms and point-of-care diagnostics. Basic concepts including detection mechanisms and trends in their fields will be covered in this review.

  • Conjugated nanocrystals using CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystal quantum dots modified by organic linkers and glucose oxidase (GOx) were prepared for use as biosensors. The trioctylphophine oxide (TOPO)-capped QDs were first modified to give them water-solubility by terminal carboxyl groups that were bonded to the amino groups of GOx through an EDC/NHS coupling reaction. As the glucose concentration increased, the photoluminescence intensity was enhanced linearly due to the electron transfer during the enzymatic reaction. The UV-visible spectra of the as-prepared QDs are identical to that of QDs-MAA. This shows that these QDs do not become agglomerated during ligand exchanges. A photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic study showed that the PL intensity of the QDs-GOx bioconjugates was increased in the presence of glucose. These glucose sensors showed linearity up to approximately 15 mM and became gradually saturated above 15 mM because the excess glucose did not affect the enzymatic oxidation reaction past that amount. These biosensors show highly sensitive variation in terms of their photoluminescence depending on the glucose concentration.

  • PURPOSE: This study analyzed the impact of AI and biosensors on physical therapy, identifying the stage of customized technology development and future prospects. AI and biosensors improve the efficiency, establish customized treatment plans, and expand patient treatment opportunities. The study employed a literature review by searching databases and collecting research. METHODS: This study searched various databases related to the topic, collected existing research, papers, and reports, evaluated the literature, and summarize the results. RESULTS: Exercise therapy utilizing artificial intelligence can provide personalized and optimal exercise plans while monitoring rehabilitation progress. In addition, biosensors such as EMG sensors and accelerometers can monitor the individual progress in physical therapy, particularly in stroke patients, which can help improve physical therapy strategy and promote patient recovery. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that artificial intelligence can be applied in many areas of physical therapy, such as exercise therapy, customized treatment plans, rehabilitation and management, pain management, neuro rehabilitation, and auxiliary devices. Using AI technology, it is possible to analyze and improve exercise and posture, retrain the central nervous system, establish customized treatment plans for individual patients, predict and compare patient progress before and after treatment, and provide customized pain analysis and treatment methods. In addition, AI can provide neuro rehabilitation programs and customized auxiliary devices.
