Design, Realization and Testing of a Multi-Sensory Device for Food and Medical Applications

In most cases analyses on gas and liquid samples are performed using several sensors arranged in multi-dimensional systems (array of sensors) or in network systems (sensors systems expressly distributed on a special area), according to the specific application. Sensors array are intended to mimic the working principles of the human senses: advancements made in the field of electronic miniaturization, power consumption reduction and data analysis techniques make possible the realization of these new technologies. Measuring devices implementing sensors array are used both in the medical applications fields, because of their minimally invasive approach for the patients, and in the food industry field because of their non-destructive approach towards the food samples. This PhD research activity is focused on the design, realization and test of a novel multi-sensory system for medical and food applications.
