Electronic Mosquito: designing a semi-invasive Microsystem for blood sampling, analysis and drug delivery applications

Abstract  In this study we present an innovative design idea for a semi-invasive blood sampling, analysis and drug delivery device called “Electronic Mosquito” (“e-Mosquito”). The major building blocks of the device are discussed. The principle of operation is described and its feasibility is demonstrated. The integration of the microsystem is outlined and its practical implementation proposed.
