Wearable ECG (wECG) provides stable cardiac recordings through skin-contact electrodes, whereas cockpit-integrated invisible ECG (iECG) can reduce user burden by acquiring signals through instrumented controls. However, iECG depends on intermittent hand contact and may show incomplete ECG morphology even when cardiac timing information is still preserved. This study proposes a window-based framework to assess the quality and task-specific usability of simultaneous wECG and iECG acquired during simulated flight. ECG data were collected in an Airbus A320 simulator from 14 volunteers, including experienced pilots and novices. The framework combines contact availability, R-peak reliability, PQRST morphology, and complementary signal quality indices into graded usability classes for heart rate (HR)-oriented monitoring. The iECG channel remained accessible for most of the analyzed recording time, with 93.8% of windows showing full or partial contact. Several windows classified as low quality by individual SQIs were retained as HR-usable when contact and R-peak timing remained reliable, indicating that single-metric rejection can be overly conservative for external-contact ECG. HR agreement supported the physiological relevance of the proposed classes: concordant wECG-iECG windows showed a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.1 bpm, compared with 7.1 bpm for discordant windows. Bland-Altman analysis for iECG windows classified as usable for HR estimation showed a small mean bias of 1.4 bpm. These findings indicate that incomplete ECG morphology does not necessarily imply loss of HR usability, and that contact-aware, task-specific classification can preserve useful physiological information from unobtrusive cockpit interfaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":48608,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors-Basel","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13604650/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149041448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urine-based metabolite biomarkers offer a non-invasive alternative for CRC triage, but translating a laboratory assay into a point-of-care (PoC) system requires standardized fluid handling, operator-independent timing, field-compatible reagents, and quantitative calibration. Here, we present a low-cost, semi-automated PoC platform integrating a validated, sequential, three-metabolite CRC-biomarker assay with robotic fluid handling, a motorized chromatographic module, an optical reader, Bluetooth electronics, and tablet-guided control.

Automated dilution, tube positioning, timed incubation, controlled column elution, and software-guided transfer reduce operator-dependent variation.

In functional terms, these behaviors trace to specific quantum-relevant features-quantum confinement, edge and defect states, and the resulting size-dependent optical and charge-transfer responses-rather than to a generic quantum-material designation. This critical review treats nanocarbons as engineered biointerfaces whose performance is set by how the carbon surface behaves in biological fluid, how recognition chemistry is anchored, and how the binding event is transduced, with magnetic responsiveness, stability, reproducibility, and fabrication control as decisive constraints. The analysis separates three material classes-non-magnetic nanocarbon sensors, hybrid carbon-magnetic systems, and defect-associated or potentially metal-free magnetic carbons-while grading evidence as direct, adjacent, comparator-derived, or prospective. Directly, graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, graphene quantum dots, and magnetic carbon hybrids serve in electrochemical, optical and fluorescent, field-effect, and magnetic-assisted formats. Clinical translation, however, remains constrained by biofouling, protein-corona formation, matrix interference, unstable functionalization, batch variability, incomplete standardization, and scarce validation in real samples and patient cohorts.

To address this, a microfluidic assay was developed to generate controlled hydrodynamic environments by employing multiple S-shaped magnetic microactuators (SMMAs). Further, motions of these SMMAs were independently controlled to produce spatiotemporally varying vortical flow fields, enabling flow-induced transportation of zebrafish larvae. Flow dynamics were characterized by employing micro-particle image velocimetry (µPIV).
