Abstract

The technologies based on paper and flexible material allow developing devices for diagnostic tests of the type Point-of-Care - PoC. These technologies enable the development of sensor devices and actuators for tests and diagnostics in humans and animals, since the materials used are thin, light, flexible and inexpensive, when compared with traditional Silicon technologies. These sensor platforms or devices are simple to manufacture, batch production, easy to use and are environmentally friendly. The pencil on paper allows the produced of many types of sensors, in special, sensors that using the piezoresistive effect for individual monitoring of human breathing.
