Abstract
Technology for the design and development of sensors for clinical practice becomes critical because of the human interface. Integrated inputs from physical, biological, engineering and medical sciences are necessary. During the past two decades most significant advance in clinical practice has been due to the interactions between scientists drawn from all the disciplines. Because of this interdisciplinary approach, monitoring of physiological, biochemical and behavioural changes for clinical management has become possible. Future trends show that by 2000 AD intelligent sensors will make them useful in on-line data analysis and help in planning the bedside treatment. This paper reviews some of these developments. Out of the broad spectrum of transducers three representative examples have been chosen which show the present status of technology in that area. These are intelligent electrodes, intracranial pressure transducer for infants and the biosensor for immunological estimations.
