AI Article Synopsis

  • There is growing interest in using medical gases like ozone for treating conditions such as herniated disks and chronic wounds, but measuring dissolved ozone in the body remains a challenge.
  • Recent research discusses advancements in ozone sensor technology from 2016 to 2020, including both gas sensors and sensors for dissolved ozone.
  • The review highlights improvements in factors like measurement temperature, range, response time, and introduces inkjet-printing as a promising method for developing sensors for medical applications.

Article Abstract

There is increasing interest in the utilisation of medical gases, such as ozone, for the treatment of herniated disks, peripheral artery diseases, and chronic wounds, and for dentistry. Currently, the in situ measurement of the dissolved ozone concentration during the medical procedures in human bodily liquids and tissues is not possible. Further research is necessary to enable the integration of ozone sensors in medical and bioanalytical devices. In the present review, we report selected recent developments in ozone sensor technology (2016-2020). The sensors are subdivided into ozone gas sensors and dissolved ozone sensors. The focus thereby lies upon amperometric and impedimetric as well as optical measurement methods. The progress made in various areas-such as measurement temperature, measurement range, response time, and recovery time-is presented. As inkjet-printing is a new promising technology for embedding sensors in medical and bioanalytical devices, the present review includes a brief overview of the current approaches of inkjet-printed ozone sensors.
