Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of a new gingival pigmentation index (SEMPI) compared to existing indexes (GPI, MPI, DOPI, MI) for classifying gingival pigmentation in patients aged 12-60 years.
  • Researchers assessed the reproducibility of these indexes through evaluations by multiple periodontists under controlled conditions, focusing on patients with melanin pigmentation in the gingiva.
  • The results indicated a high level of agreement and strong correlations among the various indexes, suggesting that the new SEMPI index is a valuable tool for classifying gingival pigmentation.

Despite substantial progress in the diagnosis of jaundice/hyperbilirubinemia as the most common disease and cause of hospitalization of newborns, on the eve of Industry/Healthcare 5.0, the development of accurate and reliable wearable diagnostic sensors for noninvasive smart monitoring of bilirubin (BIL) is still in high demand. Aiming to fabricate a smart wearable sensor for early diagnosis of neonatal jaundice and its therapeutic monitoring, we here report a fluorescent dermal nanotattoo that further coupled with an IoT-integrated wearable optoelectronic reader for minimally invasive, continuous, and real-time monitoring of BIL in interstitial fluid.
