L2M QC 2024 – « Microtatouages fonctionels fluorescents pour la biodétection ratiométrique non invasive. »

Microneedles are miniaturized needles, typically with lengths below 1 mm and often arranged into an array. These properties are ideally suited for breaching the skin’s outermost layers without activating pain-sensing neurons deeper in the tissue, which has led to much interest in using MNs for interfacing with the skin. One such application consists of using dissolving polymeric microneedles to deliver fluorescent sensors into the skin, thereby creating a functional fluorescent microtattoo. These microtattoos generate fluorescent signals in response to health information, which holds significant clinical and commercial implications for important medical conditions such as diabetes and chronic heart failure. Accordingly, a thorough market study of patients and their physicians will be conducted, in order to validate the commercialization potential of the technology.
