About
The Bio-Sensing and Bio-Sensors group is a part of the Research Institute of Science and Technology (RISE) under the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It is an independent and interdisciplinary research group that involves people from different backgrounds. This alliance of various fields leads to innovations and creative environments by incorporating numerous experiences and knowledge of students and members. To develop Bio-IS (Biomedical Instruments/Sensors), various departments of Medical/Health and Engineering Colleges will be developing the correlations between the materials and human responses.
Events and Activities
- Best paper award in IEMTRINICS International Conference.
Highlights
The Bio-Sensing (BS) group includes Bio-Instrumentation, Bio-Measurements, Signal Processing, Estimation, Fabrication, Filtering, etc., which basically involves Design, Fabrication, Applications, Processing, and Estimation of the product.
NATURE OF THE GROUP's RESEARCH
The nature of this group is interdisciplinary. People from different departments and colleges are working in developing and integrating their knowledge to develop a product which is a bio-IS. Medical/Health and Engineering will be developing the correlations between the materials and human responses. Mechanical and Electrical engineering will be working in developing the IS, and Mechatronics and Electrical will develop the signal processing/estimation techniques.
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY
The group will work on developing bio-ISs that will help in monitoring the health of any human being, especially those that need special care. The idea is to create a non-invasive, simple, human-body friendly, long-lasting, wearable, flexible IS to monitor human bio-responses and status like temperature, pressure, O2, blood pressure, sugar level, etc. The end part of the group work will be devices that help in improving life and reduces health risks.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO BE OFFERED BY THE GROUP
- Offering some courses in instrumentation, sensors, signal processing, health monitoring, estimation, etc.
- Attract graduate students to bio-medical/mechatronics applications.
- Collaborate interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary with other research groups.
- Research opportunities in the elevated branches.
- Contact with industries and markets to support the end-products and market them nationally and internationally.

Collaborations
1. Collaboration between MOHAP, UOS, and AUS to identify "The Cardiovascular Health Research Priorities in The United Arab Emirates" – expected outcome:
- Publication: The Cardiovascular Health Research Priorities In The United Arab Emirates - Submitted to Global Heart Journal.
- MOHAP report and position statement
2. Collaboration with Cleveland Clinic – Abu Dhabi: Synthesizing core nursing skills to support behavioral-based interviews for nurses in the UAE: A nominal group study. To improve and develop the recruitment and selection criteria for new nursing staff.
