Healthy red blood cells have a homogeneous distribution in refractive index, while infected red blood cells in malaria disease show non-homogeneous refractive index throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. In this paper we design and simulate a 2D photonic crystal ring resonator based refractive index biosensor for malaria detection. The simulation results have analyzed by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the band gap calculation is performed using the plane wave expansion method. The grating design, incorporated in the photonic crystal waveguide increases the efficiency and sensitivity of the designed sensor. risk of blood-borne disease transmission, and is uncomfortable for the patient [8]. Optical techniques are revolutionizing the way in which biological questions can be addressed directly in the living cell. The optical techniques that inform on the changes in mechanical properties during the infection cycle. Their sensitivity, specificity and non-intrusiveness make optical techniques indispensable to generate high-fidelity data, significantly improving the tools available to future research into blood disease [7]. Photonic crystal based biosensor is one of this optical techniques. Photonic biosensor are presents early diagnostic tool and provide a superior sensitivity, reliability, stability, fast response in vivo and vitro diagnostics [9]. In this paper we design and simulate a 2D photonic crystal biosensor. Where the biosensor chip is filled by blood sample and according their refractive index transmission is deliberated. The ‘PWE band solver’ of the software package OPTIFDTD is used to investigate the band gap of 2D rectangular PCs with GaAs rodes distributed in air wafer and its relationship with the refractive index of blood samples filled in order to improve the sensitivity. The Structure By creating point defects or cavity or by changing the size of each rod causes defect which act as a resonator. The optical resonator is also designed by creating some defects into the structure which breaks the periodicity of structure and also localized the light. Another type of optical resonator is designed by creating ring resonator [10]. We choose a ring resonator because the sensitivity is derived from the long photon lifetime inside the cavity. It provides high field localization, which increases the interaction between the light and the matter, that’s why the sensitivity increases also, for this reason we choose to implement a ring resonator in our design.

Very low level of BL signal was detected by high-sensitive photon-counter. The sensitivity of biosensor depends on a value of detected BL and it can be very low.

Slowly but surely, healthcare is going digital. Many of the recent innovations in healthcare, from telemedicine and smart devices to the growing capabilities in managing big data, can be traced back to the adoption of new digital technologies that have fostered a different way of working. Across medicine’s varied specialty areas, however, the adoption and progress of digital technology advances varies significantly. Digitalization in histopathology laboratory in Nigeria, is still a big setback, but there are digitalization in some of the usual routine practices like the automatic tissue processor which has overtaken the usual manual processor. In the area of sectioning, staining of tissues, mounting of slide and slide reading, we still face major setback in that regard. Digitalization in routine histopathology laboratory also offers new possibilities not available within the conventional microscope. A promising technique is automatic scoring and other kinds of digital image analysis (DIA). In a review, [1] conclude that current DIA methods are able to produce quantitative assessments of immunohistochemically stained slides with a similar variability as manual assessment. In other studies, quantitative digitalization methods have been shown to outperform manual work for certain applications, such as in Ki67 proliferation assessment [2] and prediction of recurrence in prostate cancer [3]. However, [3] highlight the fact that a full-scale investigation of DIA methods considering all aspects of the clinical situation is still lacking. In histopathology, and particularly in molecular pathology, there are an increasing number of tests, and an increasing demand to support faster, more-accurate disease diagnosis-and subsequent treatment and care-particularly for cancer (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":15247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosensors and Bioelectronics","volume":"138 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89215071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
