Title:
Spectro-electrochemical sensors for the detection and quantification of biomarkers
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 13, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
In this project, we will explore printed fabric sensors for reliable concurrent electrochemical and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements of stress biomarkers in sweat as an early marker for post-traumatic stress disorder. Quantification of the sensor performance will be carried out to underpin end-user acceptance. Reliable real-time sensing and physiological monitoring technologies would have a broad impact on the daily lives of Canadians.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
