New Insights on Hydration Monitoring in Elderly Patients by Interdigitated Wearable Sensors

pubmed

Sensors (Basel). 2025 Nov 20;25(22):7081. doi: 10.3390/s25227081. ABSTRACT The progressive aging of the population requires reliable, non-invasive, and real-time tools to monitor hydration, prevent dehydration-related complications, and promote active aging in elderly patients. Wearable sensors based on interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) and on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) represent a promising tool thanks to their miniaturization, sensitivity…

Classification Algorithms for Early Tooth Demineralization Assessment by Impedance Spectroscopy

pubmed

Sensors (Basel). 2025 May 31;25(11):3476. doi: 10.3390/s25113476. ABSTRACT Oral caries is one of the most common oral diseases worldwide, affecting about 2.4 billion people. This phenomenon always starts with enamel demineralization, eventually progressing to tooth cavitation and loss when not properly treated. Nowadays, the standard diagnostic techniques to detect demineralization strongly depend on the operator’s…
