SUMMARY:Holographic Sensors and Smartphone Applications in Point-of-Care T
 esting - Dr. Ali K. Yetisen

DESCRIPTION:Holography allows producing optical sensors for applications i
 n the detection of clinically relevant substances. The great advantages of
  holographic sensors over other sensing materials is the ability to create
  three-dimensional images\, rapid laser fabrication\, and amenability to m
 ass manufacturing at low-cost. This talk will outline the state-of-the-art
  holographic sensors by showing strategies in the preparation of analyte-s
 ensitive hydrogels\, discuss laser writing\, and show the results from cli
 nical trials in diabetic patients attending the Wolfson Diabetes and Endoc
 rine Clinic (Addenbrooke’s Hospital). The talk will also demonstrate a s
 martphone reader app that allows interpretation of colorimetric tests at p
 oint-of-care. The presentation will be concluded with current limitations 
 in holographic sensors and future directions will be outlined.
