China's Defense Ministry for 7.5 million US dollars research and development implantable biosensor: GI signs-us in real time, the sensor-IT information

In order to be a real-time understanding of United States soldiers ' physical conditions, United States, China's defence advanced research projects Agency (DARPA) announced that with the United States Army Research Office (U.S. Army Research Office) to develop smart biosensor implanted tissue, will cost $ 7.5 million. This item had been referred to a San Francisco company called Profusa led military hopes the technology can quickly grasp of science's own real-time physical condition so that flexible operations, increase the efficiency.

According to Profusa introduced implant as "intelligent Hydrogel", like the contact lens materials used to overcome innate rejection of the body. Its size is very small, 3-5 mm in length, about 500 micrometres in diameter, will be implanted under the skin 2-4 in position, and the material is soft and flexible, the service life is about 2 years.

Of course, such an implant alone does not work, you need optical scanning device, and signal to send to the tie between the two on a Smartphone, then the user can control the situation, can also be sent to your physician. Wait until enough accumulated data, big data will play a greater role, to provide an analytical basis for more health problems to the user. So this technology can also be used in diabetes and other chronic diseases, and contribute to the scientific control of the disease.

美中国国防部投750万美元研发可植入生物传感器：大兵体征实时看 - 美军,传感器 - IT资讯

为了能够实时掌握美国大兵的身体状况，美国中国国防部先进研究项目局（DARPA）宣布将与美国陆军研究办公室（U.S. Army Research Office）共同研发能够植入人体组织的智能生物传感器，将耗资750万美元。这个项目交由一家名为Profusa的旧金山公司来领导，军方希望该技术能够科学快速地掌握自己的实时身体状况，以便灵活安排任务行动，提升效率。

根据Profusa介绍，植入体为“智能水凝胶”，与隐形眼镜所用材料比较类似，能够克服身体天生的排异反应。它的体积非常小，长度仅为3-5 毫米，直径约为500微米，将植入皮下2-4毫米的位置，而且材质较为柔软灵活，使用寿命约为2年。

当然，仅凭这么一个植入体还不能完成工作，还需要光学扫描装置配合，二者之间配合产生的信号要发送到智能手机上，然后用户可自己掌握情况，也可以发送给专业医师。等到这些数据积累的够多，大数据就会发挥出更大的作用，能够为更多用户的健康问题提供分析基础。因此这项技术也可以用在糖尿病等慢性病人的身上，有助于病情的科学把控。
