Glaucoma patients often exhibit an increase in their intraocular pressure (IOP) levels during their sleep, limiting the ability of clinicians to accurately diagnose this disease in many potential glaucoma patients. Several novel contact lens sensing devices that monitor IOP-related changes in an eye over 24 hours have been developed.

Motion sensors are used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. They aid automatic systems and human operators in detecting people and moving objects, providing many security and safety benefits. This article will explore InnoSenT GMBH’s new motion detector and what it means for the industry.
QDs have already been successfully incorporated into several different electronic and biomedical devices as a result of their unique properties, including, but not limited to, photostability, high extinction coefficient, and brightness, as well as their large Stokes shift. This article discusses how they have been applied to gas sensors.

The potential degradation of asphalt pavements results in expensive construction work and can be a serious safety concern for those traveling on affected roads. Although regular maintenance is often performed on paved roads, an urgent need for a precise pavement monitoring system remains. As a result, several smart sensor networks have been developed to monitor asphalt pavements' structural health in real-time.
