8Healthcare facts and figures
- The issues
- Aging population (worldwide)
- Need to improve the quality of service
- Need to provide additional services
- In 2007 2 trillions spent in the USA on
healthcare - 25 of the national economy (USA) tied up in
healthcare by 2025 - Underdeveloped countries do not have enough
healthcare professionals to serve the population
in far-away regions

12Bio-to-Bit Platforms
- Bio-sensors
- Sensor networks (body gateway)
- Connection through low power wireless
- From specialized medical center to personal
environment (body, home, office, car) - Individual autonomy in the sample extraction (no
needs of specialized assistance) - bit transmission instead of biological samples
movement

13Bio-to-Bit a few building blocks
- Thermo-reactors (PCR for DNA - qPCR for DNA)
- Electronic noses
- Ethylometer
- Pumps
- Valves
- Syringes
- Wet-ability
- Microfluidic (idrofilia, idrofobia)
- Electro-Dielectrophoresys
- Energy Scavenging (piezo, magnetic,
electromagnetic , )
