1. A Fully Integrated Microneedle-based Transdermal Drug Delivery System
Sammanfattning : Patch-based transdermal drug delivery offers a convenient way to administer drugs without the drawbacks of standard hypodermic injections relating to issues such as patient acceptability and injection safety. However, conventional transdermal drug delivery is limited to therapeutics where the drug can diffuse across the skin barrier. LÄS MER
2. Novel Approaches to Treatment and Prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy
Sammanfattning : Several studies have reported beneficial effects of C-peptide supplementation in diabetic patients and animal models of insulinopenic diabetes. However, it is also established that good glycemic control is essential to minimize the risk of diabetes-induced complications. LÄS MER
3. Hybrid antibacterial microneedle patches against skin infections
Sammanfattning : Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a major healthcare burden that has increased in incidence since the beginning of the 21st century resulting in an annual spending of approximately 15 b$ in 2012 in the United States (US).1 Treatment of SSTIs is complex and typically involves the administration of antibiotics.

4. Flexible and Stretchable Biointerfacing for Healthcare Diagnostics
Sammanfattning : Flexible and stretchable wearable biomedical devices provide a platform for continues long-term monitoring of biological signals during neutral body movements thus enabling early intervention and diagnostics of various diseases. This thesis evaluates novel flexible and stretchable bio interfacing medical devices based on microneedle patches and split ring resonator for healthcare diagnostics. LÄS MER
5. Integrated microsystems for continuous glucose monitoring, interstitial fluid sampling and digital microfluidics
Sammanfattning : Interdisciplinary research between medicine and microsystem engineering creates new possibilities to improve the quality of life of patients or to further enhance the performance of already existing devices. In particular, microsystems show great potential for the realization of biosensors and sampling devices to monitor bioanalytes with minimal patient discomfort. LÄS MER
