- Project Overview -
The project “Flexible Plasmonic Chip for Non-Invasive Real-Time Glucose Monitoring” (acronym Chip4GluDet) has the ambitious goal to develop a versatile flexible plasmonic chip for the non-invasive real-time dual electrochemical-SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) glucose detection. The proposal addresses the limitations of the currently available glucose monitoring devices and overcomes them by designing a new sensing platform with enhanced dual detection capabilities. The developed flexible chip efficiently integrates two innovative technologies, allowing not only the electrochemical detection of glucose, but also its specific identification through SERS. The electrochemical and SERS analysis will be performed using portable analysis systems allowing a user-friendly interface and portability as well as decreased testing expenses. This flexible chip exhibits unique advantages being a step closer to the desired lab-on-the-skin sensing devices for efficient glucose monitoring and, implicitly, diabetes management.
