Abstract

Lead (Pb) poisoning can damage human bodies silently, without specific symptoms or conspicuous warning signs. To provide safe and user-friendly tools for detecting heavy metals at low concentrations, scientists have developed and optimized versatile biosensors. To practically employ the developed biosensors specific for Pb (eg, the optimized Met-lead 1.44 M1), smartphone applications designed for user convenience and are easily operable for the on-site detection of Pb in environmental water, drinking water, food, and blood/urine are urgently needed. To establish a monitoring system for home health maintenance, a portable device and useful apps installed on a smartphone can be integrated, and the data acquired can be sent to and stored in the cloud for further analysis and evidence preservation. With the high transmissions speeds for 4G and 4G wireless Internet, such a system can be applied for health protection; water-quality data can be provided by anyone and publicly shared for display on smartphone interfaces, alerting individuals of heavy metal contamination. In this review, we describe recent developments in heavy metal-sensing devices, including home health maintenance systems, which have been successfully and practically applied to prevent heavy metal Pb poisoning.

用于智能医疗和预防铅中毒的便携式传感装置。

铅(Pb)中毒可以悄无声息地损害人体，没有特定的症状或明显的警告迹象。为了提供安全和用户友好的工具来检测低浓度的重金属，科学家们开发并优化了多功能生物传感器。为了实际应用所开发的铅特异性生物传感器(例如，优化的Met-lead 1.44 M1)，迫切需要设计方便且易于操作的智能手机应用程序，用于环境水、饮用水、食物和血液/尿液中的铅的现场检测。通过将智能手机上安装的便携设备和有用的应用程序集成在一起，将采集到的数据发送到云端并存储在云端，以便进一步分析和证据保存。该系统具有4G和4G无线互联网的高传输速度，可用于健康保护;任何人都可以提供水质数据，并在智能手机界面上公开共享，提醒人们注意重金属污染。在这篇综述中，我们描述了重金属传感设备的最新进展，包括家庭健康维护系统，这些设备已经成功地和实际地应用于预防重金属铅中毒。

期刊介绍： Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, previously known as the Chinese Medical Journal (Taipei), has a long history of publishing scientific papers and has continuously made substantial contribution in the understanding and progress of a broad range of biomedical sciences. It is published monthly by Wolters Kluwer Health and indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), MEDLINE®, Index Medicus, EMBASE, CAB Abstracts, Sociedad Iberoamericana de Informacion Cientifica (SIIC) Data Bases, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Global Health. JCMA is the official and open access journal of the Chinese Medical Association, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China and is an international forum for scholarly reports in medicine, surgery, dentistry and basic research in biomedical science. As a vehicle of communication and education among physicians and scientists, the journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Reports of professional practice will need to demonstrate academic robustness and scientific rigor. Outstanding scholars are invited to give their update reviews on the perspectives of the evidence-based science in the related research field. Article types accepted include review articles, original articles, case reports, brief communications and letters to the editor
