"Personalized Bioelectronics" aims to integrate biosensors and systems for information technology into wearable, swallowable, or implantable devices that enable real-time monitoring of physiological data and individualized therapies. To date, the development of inexpensive, high-performance devices for personalized bioelectronics has been slowed by the challenges associated with miniaturizing biochemical sensors and integrating them into self-contained systems. In this seminar, I will present two new technologies for rapid, wireless bioanalysis in and on the human body: i) a swallowable pill for fluorometric detection of gastrointestinal bleeding and ii) a handheld electroanalytical device for point-of-care screening of diseases. I will also present new strategies for rapid design and fabrication of nanostructured materials that are necessary for further miniaturization of bioelectronic and biophotonic probes. Finally, I will conclude with a brief discussion of future applications and challenges for wearable and implantable devices, particularly within the context of the emerging field of neuroengineering.
