Designing for Intimate Wellbeing: Aidee, a Qualitative Approach To Urine Home Monitoring
Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Emily Clare Groves, Margherita Motta
Despite the widespread use of self-tracking technologies for promoting personal wellbeing, there is limited research on the monitoring of intimate data, particularly urine. To shed light on the design possibilities within this unexplored domain we designed ...
2024Innovative Biomarkers for Obesity and Type 1 Diabetes Based on Bifidobacterium and Metabolomic Profiling
Stephan Morgenthaler, Paul Refinetti, Mariya Yuryevna Skvortsova
The role of Bifidobacterium species and microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and human milk oligosaccharides in controlling intestinal inflammation and the pathogenesis of obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been largely studied ...
MDPI2024Design and Prototype an artificial urethra
The human urethra is a complex tubular organ that allows to empty urine from the urinary bladder. Due to its hyperelastic properties and heterogeneous composition, the design of an artificial urethra (AU) is a real engineering challenge. Within the Center ...
2023Fate of parasites and viruses in calcium hydroxide-treated urine in relation to temperature and moisture content
Human urine can be used as fertilizer and technologies, such as alkaline-urine treatment, are being developed to enable easier re-use. There is, however, a risk of pathogens being present in the urine. This hygiene assessment examined inactivation of three ...
2022Health risks for sanitation service workers along a container-based urine collection system and resource recovery value chain
Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Timothy R. Julian
Container-based sanitation (CBS) within a comprehensive service system value chain offers a low-cost sanitation option with potential for revenue generation, but may increase microbial health risks to sanitation service workers. This study assessed occupat ...
2019Development of a biologically inspired in-vitro platform for long-term assessment of commercial and innovative ureteral stents
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Francesco Clavica
Ureteral stents are small flexible tubes which are clinically used to restore the urine drainage in presence of obstructions of the ureteral lumen such as tumours, kidney/ureteral stones. The lifetime risk of developing urinary stones is about 20% in men a ...
2019Towards a point-of-care nanoplasmonic biosensor for rapid and multiplexed detection of pathogenic infections
Hatice Altug, Xiaokang Li, Filiz Yesilköy, Alexander Belushkin, Maria Soler Aznar
The implementation of multiplexed point-of-care biosensors is a top priority to address the current epidemic problems originated by widespread pathogenic infections, like those caused by viruses or bacteria. A rapid and accurate detection, identification, ...
SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING2018Multiplexed nanoplasmonic biosensor for one-step simultaneous detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in urine
Hatice Altug, Andrea Cavallini, Alexander Belushkin, Maria Soler Aznar
Development of rapid and multiplexed diagnostic tools is a top priority to address the current epidemic problem of sexually transmitted diseases. Here we introduce a novel nanoplasmonic biosensor for simultaneous detection of the two most common bacterial ...
2017Towards sustainable sanitation: Identifying and mitigating microbial health risks in the production of urine-derived fertilizers
Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Timothy R. Julian
Sanitation systems that systematically recover and reuse waste can promote social enterprise, reduce discharge of harmful nutrients, pathogens and other contaminants to the environment, replace synthetic fertilizer sources, and increase access to sanitatio ...
2017Reaction extents: A Divide-and-Conquer Approach for Kinetic Model Identification
Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter
Obtaining reliable wastewater treatment process models is critical for the application of model-based design, operation, and automation. For example, Masic et al. (2014) explored the use of an observer designed for nonlinear processes to estimate nitrite i ...
