Intra-tracheal multiplexed sensing of contact pressure and perfusion (2021)
Journal Article

Incorrect endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff inflation pressure causes significant problems for intubated patients. The technical development and first in vivo use of a smart ETT for measurements at the cuff-trachea interface during mechanical ventilation...

Localised plasmonic hybridisation mode optical fibre sensing of relative humidity (2021)
Journal Article

This work reports an optical fibre probe functionalised with ‘cotton-shaped’ gold-silica nanostructures for relative humidity (RH) monitoring. The sensor response utilises the localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of self-assembled nanostructure...

A single-film fiber optical sensor for simultaneous measurement of carbon dioxide and relative humidity (2021)
Journal Article

Colorimetric measurement is a versatile, low-cost method for bio-/chemical sensing and that has importance in biomedical applications. General carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors based on colorimetric change of a pH indicator report only one parameter at a...

Fabrication of Humidity-Resistant Optical Fiber Sensor for Ammonia Sensing Using Diazo Resin-Photocrosslinked Films with a Porphyrin-Polystyrene Binary Mixture (2021)
Journal Article

Ammonia gas sensors were fabricated via layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of diazo resin (DAR) and a binary mixture of tetrakis(4-sulfophenyl)porphine (TSPP) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) onto the core of a multimode U-bent optical fiber. The penet... Read More about Fabrication of Humidity-Resistant Optical Fiber Sensor for Ammonia Sensing Using Diazo Resin-Photocrosslinked Films with a Porphyrin-Polystyrene Binary Mixture.

Optical Fibre Sensor for Capillary Refill Time and Contact Pressure Measurements under the Foot (2021)
Journal Article

Capillary refill time (CRT) refers to the time taken for body tissue to regain its colour after an applied blanching pressure is released. Usually, pressure is manually applied and not measured. Upon release of pressure, simple mental counting is typ... Read More about Optical Fibre Sensor for Capillary Refill Time and Contact Pressure Measurements under the Foot.

Optical fibre Sensor for Simultaneous Temperature and Relative Humidity Measurement: Towards Absolute Humidity Evaluation (2021)
Journal Article

Temperature and humidity are essential parameters in monitoring the health of patients in critical care. An optical fibre sensor has been developed for simultaneous measurement of relative humidity (RH) and temperature at a single optical fibre tip b...

Chemically functionalised suspended-core fibre for ammonia gas detection (2021)
Journal Article

An optical fibre ammonia gas sensor utilising a functionalised four-leaf-clover-shaped suspended-core fibre (SCF) is demonstrated. The fibre is functionalised by depositing a thin layer of an ammonia sensitive dye (tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic...

Centrifuge application of fibre Bragg gratings: pile axial loads and wall bending moments (2021)
Journal Article

One challenge for geotechnical centrifuge testing of soil-structure interaction problems is the reliable measurement of induced structural strains/forces. This paper presents a novel application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for strain measure...

Carboxyl-fentanyl detection using optical fibre grating-based sensors functionalised with molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (2021)
Journal Article

Butyrylfentanyl is a new designer drug reported with growing use and related deaths. Routine toxicological analyses of this novel synthetic opioid drug have not been established yet. This work reports a fibre optic sensor that measures carboxyl-fenta...

Development and validation of a novel fibre-optic respiratory rate sensor (FiRRS) integrated in oxygen delivery devices (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 The Author(s). Respiratory rate (RR) monitoring provides crucial information on the overall health condition of patients and a reliable, low cost RR monitor for normal hospital inpatient or home use would be of significant benefit. The propose... Read More about Development and validation of a novel fibre-optic respiratory rate sensor (FiRRS) integrated in oxygen delivery devices.
