These smartphone-nanosenors consist of nanomaterial-modified interdigitated electrode, a digital multimeter with Bluetooth, and a smartphone with a customized APP. One smartphone-nanosensor that NDT is currently developing takes advantage of conducting polymer nanowires for rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of personal exposure to pesticides. The sensing signals will be wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone with customized APP. The raw data will be analyzed and the results will be immediately displayed on the smartphone. In addition to processing, analyzing, and reporting data, the APP can also transfer locally stored data to a cloud platform that will enable sharing data acquired from geographically-distributed smartphone-nanosensors with professionals including healthcare providers and epidemiologists. The resulting integrated detection platform will be reagentless (self-contained reagents) and the sensor strip will be single use and disposable just like a glucose sensor strip.
