Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the present era with ever-changing science and technology, gas-sensing technology, with its unique advantages, has shown remarkable potential in many cutting-edge fields. Among them, its application in the medical and health field has broad development prospects.
This Special Issue focuses on the theme of "Innovative Applications of Gas Sensing Technology in the Medical and Health Field". Gas sensing technology is of great significance in disease diagnosis. It can detect biomarkers such as volatile organic compounds in human exhaled gas, providing a key basis for the early diagnosis of cancers, diabetes, respiratory diseases, etc. Meanwhile, in respiratory analysis, gas sensors can monitor the respiratory rate and changes in gas composition in real time, assisting doctors in assessing the cardiopulmonary function and metabolic status of patients.
In addition, gas sensing technology can also be applied in the process of drug research and development to monitor the drug release process in real time, ensuring the precise delivery and therapeutic effect of drugs. The research and development of new gas-sensing materials is also constantly advancing, providing support for improving the accuracy and sensitivity of medical detection. Through this Special Issue, the aim is to bring together the latest research results and practical experience, promote the in-depth application and innovative development of gas sensing technology in the medical and health field, and open new ways and directions for improving human health conditions and enhancing the level of medicine.
