BIOMEDICAL SENSORS:

Biomedical sensors are a special type of sensors that detect specific biological, chemical, or physical
processes, then report these data and use them for medical applications. There are many types of
Biomedical sensors such as

Grove – GSR Sensor:

The Grove – GSR allows you to spot such strong emotions by simple attaching two electrodes to two
fingers on one hand. It is an interesting sensor to own as you can create emotion related projects like a
sleep quality monitor. An example of the use of the GSR sensor currently is lie detectors which the same
scientific principle is also applied.

Some features of the GSR sensor are:

1. Finger straps to with electrodes
2. Able to detect conductance of skin
3. Measures resistance of people

Grove – Finger-clip Heart Rate Sensor:

The Grove – Finger-clip Heart Rate Sensor is based on PAH8001EI-2G, a high performance and low
power CMOS-process optical sensor with Green LED and DSP integrated serving as a Heart Rate
Detection(HRD) sensor.

Some features of this Sensor are:

1. Flexible Sleep rate control
2. I2C interface
3. Reserved SWD interface
4. Working temperature of -20 to 60℃
5. Sensor area of just 3.0 x 4.7mm

AIR QUALITY SENSORS:

Air quality sensors measure levels of pollution, carbon dioxide and other particulates in the air. Air
quality
sensors gather data about what’s in the air and transmit their findings to the cloud. Cities typically use
devices with air quality sensors so they can access real-time air quality conditions to issue warnings to
residents if needed and track trends for study. Air quality sensors are being used in homes as well,
detecting harmful particulates that could be indoors from appliances like gas stoves, which could warn
residents to open a window or turn on an exhaust fan.

The main objectives of deploying air quality sensors include:

Public Health Protection: Identify and measure levels of pollutants that can have adverse effects on
human
health, such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide
(CO), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).Provide real-time data to alert the public and
Relevant authorities about potential health risks associated with poor air quality.

Environmental Monitoring: Track the impact of human activities, industrial processes, and natural events
on the environment. Assess the effectiveness of pollution control measures and policies. Monitor changes
in air quality over time and across different locations.

Regulatory Compliance: Aid in compliance with environmental regulations and standards set by
governmental bodies. Provide accurate and reliable data for reporting purposes, helping industries and
communities meet air quality standards.

Early Warning Systems: Enable the development of early warning systems to alert communities and
authorities about pollution events or incidents. Support emergency response planning by providing timely
and accurate information on air quality during events like wildfires, industrial accidents, or natural
disasters.
CHEMICAL SENSORS:

A chemical sensor is a device that transforms chemical information (composition, presence of a particular
element or ion, concentration, chemical activity, partial pressure…) into an analytically useful signal. The
chemical information, mentioned above, may originate from a chemical reaction of the analyte or from a
physical property of the system investigated. They can have applications in different areas such as
medicine, home safety, environmental pollution and many others.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR : Carbon monoxide detectors trigger an alarm based on an

accumulation of carbon monoxide over time. Detectors may be based on a chemical reaction causing a
color change, an electrochemical reaction that produces current to trigger an alarm, or a semiconductor
sensor that changes its electrical resistance in the presence of CO.

MOSQUITO : Mosquitoes have a battery of sensors in their antennas and one of them is a chemical sensor.
They can sense carbon dioxide and lactic acid up to 36 meters away. Mammals and birds release these
gases when they breathe. Certain chemical in sweat also seem to attract mosquitoes. This is the reason that
those who sweat more easily will tend to attract more mosquitoes.
