In analytical chemistry, biomonitoring is the measurement of the body burden of toxic chemical compounds, elements, or their metabolites, in biological substances. [1] [2] Often, these measurements are done in blood and urine. [3]
monitoring and assessing aquatic species (incl. plants, animals, and bacteria) monitoring the behavior of certain aquatic species and assessing any changes in species behavior analyzing the biochemical make-up of the waterbody, and its potential influence on the species that depend on it.
Autonomous Pathogen Detection System by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Autonomous Detection Systems (ADS), also called biohazard detection systems or autonomous pathogen detection systems, are designed to monitor air or water in an environment and to detect the presence of airborne or waterborne chemicals, toxins, pathogens, or other biological agents capable of causing human illness ...
The development of new techniques for monitoring is an advanced and developing field in smart medicine, biomedical-aided integrative medicine, alternative medicine, self-tailored preventive medicine and predictive medicine that emphasizes monitoring of comprehensive medical data of patients, people at risk and healthy people using advanced ...
The importance of astronaut health monitoring systems have been increasing as the duration of space missions have been consistently growing. With existing space suit bioinstrumentation system, the development of next generation of bioinstrumentation systems made it possible to provide improved health monitoring during extra-vehicular activity.
Some of the first uses of biotelemetry systems date to the early space race, where physiological signals obtained from animals or human passengers were transmitted back to Earth for analysis (the name of the medical device manufacturer Spacelabs Healthcare is a reflection of their start in 1958 developing biotelemetry systems for the early U.S. space program).
A biological monitor or biomonitor is an organism that provides quantitative information on the quality of the environment around it. [4] Therefore, a good biomonitor will indicate the presence of the pollutant and can also be used in an attempt to provide additional information about the amount and intensity of the exposure.
drug discovery and evaluation of biological activity of new compounds, protein engineering in biosensors, [87] and; detection of toxic metabolites such as mycotoxins. A common example of a commercial biosensor is the blood glucose biosensor, which uses the enzyme glucose oxidase to break blood glucose down.
