Low-cost 3D printed sensors could widen access to diagnostics

Researchers at the University of Brighton are developing affordable 3D printed medical sensors designed to make diagnostic testing cheaper and more accessible. The technology could have applications in construction safety monitoring and health screening for field workers.

A team at the University of Brighton is building a new class of inexpensive, environmentally conscious medical sensors that aim to make testing cheaper and more widely available. Over the past three years, researchers under Professor Bhavik Patel have reconsidered the fundamentals of how diagnostic…
