Project description
Temperature sensor for spinal cord injury treatment
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) significantly impact patients’ quality of life and necessitate intricate treatment strategies. Monitoring patient response to therapy is often inefficient, requiring frequent visits or prolonged hospital stays. Current temperature sensors enhance SCI treatment and hypothermia protocols, yet their limited ability to remain in the body long term diminishes their efficacy. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the BioPHIX project aims to develop a polymer fibre temperature sensor for immediate implantation, enabling extended monitoring during therapeutic hypothermia, both intraoperatively and postoperatively. The project integrates advanced polymer materials with femtosecond laser technology to create a sensing structure that minimises foreign body reactions.
Objective
BioPHIX aims to advance spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment, making the development of precise, biocompatible, and reliable temperature monitoring solutions a significant step forward in optimizing therapeutic hypothermia protocols. BioPHIX will design a novel polymer fibre temperature sensor capable for immediate implantation within the patient for prolonged observation of the patients physiological responses, during therapeutic hypothermia in SCIs, both during and post operation. This device will address one of the most vital shortcomings of the current temperature sensors; the ability to remain for an extended duration within the patient by minimizing the effect of a foreign body reaction response (FBR). The biocompatible polymer sensing device will achieve just that, while, at the same time augmenting the performance of the current state-of-the-art by combining the benefits of unique polymer materials with femtosecond lasers to facilitate the unique sensing structure.
