What is it about?
A printed, organic biosensor for detecting blood sugar levels from saliva, designed and fabricated on a 0.1 mm thick flexible plastic foil. The sensor allows for saliva-based, non-invasive glucose measurements and functions as a cheap, self-reliant, battery powered module that does not employ any catalysts to amplify the biosensor response.
