有哪些新型的生物醫學類感測器？

感測器課需要介紹比較新型前沿、熱門的感測器，求推薦~

I think it included Bio-MEMS, micro array, paper based bio chip.

之前好像答的太簡略了，補充一下:p

先大致介紹一下基本傳感器Transducer的定義:

換能器是將一種形式的能量轉化成另一種形式的器件。這些能量形式包括（但不限於）電能、機械能、電磁能（包含光能）、化學能、聲能和熱能。雖然「換能器」這一術語一般表示一種感測器，事實上任何能夠轉化能量的器件都可以被認為是一種換能器。換能器被廣泛用於測量儀錶中。

簡單的說，就是可以吧外界的訊號轉成可以量化分析的數值輸出的電子元件，比如說體溫計手機麥克風都是算是廣義的定義。

基本上Transducer的分類 可以粗略分成這幾項，

*資料取自明年的U.S. Alaska Transducer Conference Transducers 2015

1. Mechanical/Physical Sensors and Microsystems
   Examples: pressure, inertial, force, thermal

2. Materials, Fabrication and Packaging Technologies
   Examples: Unit processes and characterization, process flows and parameter studies for material integration, fabrication and packaging technologies for transducers, not limited to a certain kind of technology family

3. Nanoscale Materials, Devices and Fabrication
   Examples: nanomaterials (one structural dimension &< 5 nm) with new functional properties for sensors, nanowires, CNTs, and respective devices and fabrication process flows

4. Chemical Sensors and Microsystems
   Examples: liquid and gas phase sensing

5. Bio-Sensors and Bio-Microsystems
   Examples: devices and instruments for in vitro measurement and handling of biological samples and bio markers

6. Medical Microsystems
   Examples: devices and instruments for in vivo measurements, such as implantable devices, drug delivery systems, micro device/system for clinical use

7. Microfluidics
   Examples: technologies, devices, and systems for manipulation of fluids, particles, and droplets

8. Composite Materials/ Polymers, Devices and Fabrication
   Examples: functional polymers, nanoparticle filled polymers, device concepts and fabrication process flows, characterization, including drift, reliability and aging

9. Energy and Power MEMS/ Magnetic Sensors

   Examples: microsystems and technologies for energy conversion, storage, and management, energy harvesters (micro/nano enhanced solar, thermal, mechanical, RF) and large area fabrication technologies

10. RF MEMS, Resonators, and Oscillators
    Examples: switches, tunable power dividers, phase shifters, or filters

11. Optical MEMS
    Examples: micro spectrometers, SPR based sensor, fiber based systems, integrated optics, tunable soft lenses

12. Actuators
    Examples: micro / nano actuators and robots, DC Switches, micro relays and probe devices (e.g. AFM)

13. Theory, Design and Test Methodology
    Examples: Noise, noise models and SNR in sensors, sensor information theory, design methodologies and novel models, simulation concepts and calibration and test procedures

而其中Bio-MicroSystem 是傳統上(比較偏生物學的定義，醫學檢驗等)定義的生物傳感器。

然而在近年，MEMS(微機電系統)則因為Actuator, Microfluid在生物學上的應用再度興起（目前主要在仍以在美國為主，不論是學界或是灣區業界），然而這其中一個很大的問題的，如何將生物訊號輸出到電子裝置上，比如說讓你使用手機就可以知道身體狀況，遠端照護(Point of Care)的這個具有商業化前景的概念。

這邊好像又答得太學理了，來看看實際上的應用吧，最近伊波拉病毒挺嚴重的，於是MIT這篇文章就立刻上了Cell(與Nature齊名的期刊)，這算是最新也最有商業應用，和解決人類健康問題的生物傳感器了吧。

至於這是否還是Transducer，就是另一回事了，希望有幫助到妳。

不知道是要多新多熱門……

Bio MEMS里有很多有趣的. 之前見一個real time aortic shear stress sensor.
