Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for measuring biomedical data. The method of measuring biomedical data using a biochemical reaction includes determining reaction termination time at which the biochemical reaction has been stabilized based on an average variation in a predetermined period in an early stage of measurement, and obtaining a final measured value by adding a correction value to a value measured at the determined reaction termination time.

Apparatus and method for measuring biomedical data using algorithm for improving reproducibility

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for measuring biomedical data and a measurement strip. The apparatus includes a plurality of detection units arranged within a strip reception area on a plane and spaced apart from each other, a measurement type determination unit for determining whether reactive portions are present in areas of the measurement strip corresponding to the plurality of detection units based on detection results obtained by the detection units and determining a type of measurement based on results of the determination, a biomedical data measurement unit for activating part or all of the detection units according to the type of measurement determined by the measurement type determination unit, and measuring the biomedical data using the activated detection units, and an output unit for outputting the measured biomedical data to an outside.

Apparatus and method for measuring biomedical data and measurement strip

Disclosed are a test strip and a method for measuring medical data. The test strip comprises an upper cover having one or more application holes; a lower support having one or more detected parts at positions corresponding to detecting units of the measuring apparatus; an erythrocyte and LDL cholesterol-filtering layer designed to filter off both of erythrocytes and LDL cholesterol from an applied blood sample by agglutinating erythrocytes and precipitating LDL cholesterol; and a reaction layer in which the blood sample free of erythrocytes and LDL cholesterol is reacted with an reagent, the filtering layer and the reaction layer being stacked between the lower support and the upper cover. Structured to filter off erythrocytes and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from a blood sample in a single layer, the test strip of the present invention can be made to be slim and allows a low volume of blood to be analyzed.

Test strip and method for measuring blood cholesterol level using the same

Disclosed is a test strip for measuring medical data, in which a hydrophilic material is introduced to improve the spreadability of blood. Having the structure comprising a blood-filtering layer designed to filter off either or both of erythrocytes and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from an applied blood sample; a reaction layer in which the blood sample free of erythrocytes and/or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is reacted with an reagent, and a hydrophilic material, intercalated between the blood-filtering layer and the reaction layer, for uniformly spreading the blood sample filtered through the filtering layer, the blood-filtering layer and the reaction layer being stacked between the lower support and the upper cover, the test strip prevents the infiltration of erythrocytes into the reaction layer and improves the spreadability of blood to reduce measurement errors, thus bringing about higher reproducibility.

Sample collection and injection device

Disclosed herein is a device for collecting a sample, which is intended to dispense a received sample onto a measurement strip. The device includes a main body and a pair of receiving pieces. The receiving pieces protrude from a first end of the main body in such a way as to be spaced apart from each other while facing each other, and receive the sample by capillary force acting on a space which is defined between the receiving pieces and which is open on right, left and bottom sides. The device allows the received sample to be easily transferred to a reaction zone of a measurement strip, and enables the sample to be completely absorbed by the reaction zone because of capillary force in a receiving area when the device comes into contact with the reaction zone of the strip.

Device for collecting sample

Disclosed herein is a biosensor. The biosensor includes a measuring layer configured to measure whether reaction to a biological sample has occurred. An upper cover is disposed on a top of the measuring layer, and is provided with an open window configured to allow a measurement area of the measuring layer to be exposed and an upper protrusion configured to protrude from an outer portion of the open window in a direction in which the upper protrusion is coupled to a lower panel. The lower panel is disposed below the measuring layer, and is provided with a lower protrusion which protrudes between the open window and the upper protrusion of the upper cover so that the lower protrusion is spaced apart from the upper protrusion by a gap and which presses the measuring layer so that a top of the measuring layer upwardly protrudes from the open window.
