Dr Aoife Morrin believes the ‘holy grail’ of sensor technology lies in the ability to monitor our health via biomarkers in the skin.
Sensors have become central to many technological advances in recent years and this is reflected in the growing investment in the space.
In 2018, Queen’s University Belfast spin-out Causeway Sensors raised £1.2m for its nanotechnology to enable pathogen detection. In 2020, Cork Institute of Technology, now part of Munster Technological University, was chosen to lead a €3.8m EU project to build tiny sensors for drones to monitor the environment. And earlier this year, French medtech start-up Grapheal, which specialises in graphene-based wearable biosensors, secured €1.9m in funding.
The advancements in sensors are seen across several industries, from...
