Time-series processing for portable biosensors and mobile platforms for automated pattern recognition
In this chapter, techniques concerning processing of time-series produced by portable biosensors will be presented. A biosensor can be defined as a `compact analytical device or unit incorporating a biological or biologically derived sensitive recognition element integrated or associated with a physio-chemical transducer' [1,2]. There are three main parts of a biosensor: (i) the bio-receptor which is the sensitive biological element that reacts with a specific type of chemicals or biological agents, (ii) a transducer that converts the biorecognition reaction into a measurable signal, and (iii) a signal processing system that reads the measurement signal, providing the user with proper information or advice.
