Abstract: Measurement of target analytes is carried out with an enzyme-based sensor. The enzyme hydrogel is protected by a porous layer of a metallic material. The size of the pores is small enough to prevent degradation of the enzyme layer caused by the immune system of an organism, but large enough to allow transfer of molecules that participate in the electrochemical reaction allowing the enzyme to detect the target analytes.

Abstract: A wearable blood pressure measuring device includes a wristband, a valve plate, a gas-collecting seat, a gas transportation device, an elastic medium and a pressure sensor. The wristband has a mounting zone. The mounting zone has a first accommodation recess, a second accommodation recess, a gas-collecting hole and a pressure-releasing hole. The first accommodation recess and the second accommodation recess are in fluid communication with each other through the gas-collecting hole. When the gas transportation device is enabled to transport the gas to the elastic medium, the elastic medium is inflated with the gas and expanded to push the pressure sensor to be in close contact with a measurement part of a user's body, thereby measuring a blood pressure value of a target artery through a scanning operation.
