BIOSENSORES ELECTROQUÍMICOS PARA SEGUIMIENTO MÍNIMAMENTE INVASIVO DE ENFERMEDADES DEGENERATIVAS

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most studied degenerative diseases and the most common form of dementia among ederly people. For its study, different proteins which accumulate in the body, generating disease, are controlled. In order to make possible that this monitoring can be carried out by the caregivers themselves and, if necessary, by non-highly-qualified personnel in residences, outpatient clinics or at the patient's home, currently the objective is to develop portable, sensitive, reliable, accurate and economic methodology, to achieve this goal. According to these sought characteristics, electrochemical biosensors have proven to be a good alternative.
