Seizure is a common complication in a neurological intensive care unit (NICU) and it requires continuous electroencephalograms (EEG) monitoring. Implementation of EEG for each bed in a NICU is very expensive and require labor work for interpretation of EEG. To provide an affordable device of EEG in NICU, we developed a low-cost wireless biosensor, which utilized the current standard of the internet of things technology (IoT). In this study, we implement a wireless biosensor for continuous EEG monitoring in NICU and discuss its feasibility. To provide a low-cost EEG device, we embraced Bluetooth and mobile phone technology, which is convenient for implementation. We build a two-channel EEG biosensor, which utilizes Bluetooth to transmit the signal to mobile phones. Then, mobile phones use Wi-Fi technology to send data to the server. Additionally, we also developed a registry to organize the patient's EEG data. In six months research period, we have 65.8% of patients collected successfully. Using 2 channel-biosensor in NCU is feasible. It also develops a neuromedical database by collecting and monitoring physiological signals to develop future neuromedical research.

Unlabelled: Ongoing research in biosensor technologies has led to advanced functional materials for healthcare diagnostics, and bacteriophages (phages), demonstrating exceptional utility due to their high specificity, accuracy, rapid, label-free, and wireless detection capabilities with minimal false-positive results. Phage-based-pathogen-detecting biosensors (PBPDBs) include surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, magnetoelastic (ME), electrochemical, and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensors. Commonly used substrates for PBPDBs are gold, silicon, glass, carbon-based materials, magnetic particles, and quantum dots.

Article Synopsis
- Implantable sensors are becoming popular for localized and continuous monitoring in medical settings, allowing for early detection and timely interventions.
- There are two main types of implantable sensors: active, which have more advanced functionalities but require a power source, and passive, which don't need power and offer simpler, smaller designs.
- This review focuses on passive sensor technologies, discussing their materials, detection methods, clinical applications, advantages over active sensors, and important considerations for their packaging and compatibility with the human body.

Wearable and implantable biosensors have rapidly entered the fields of health and biomedicine to diagnose diseases and physiological monitoring. The use of wired medical devices causes surgical complications, which can occur when wires break, become infected, generate electrical noise, and are incompatible with implantable applications. In contrast, wireless power transfer is ideal for biosensing applications since it does not necessitate direct connections between measurement tools and sensing systems, enabling remote use of the biosensors.
