Wireless Bio-sensor Research Center - Excellent Research Center designated by the Kwangwoo Information commumnication Research Center (WBSRC)

Research Center Introduction

본Through application of micro/nano technology, this research center has fabricated the super-small wireless communication bio-sensor module by developing the super-small high-sensitivity bio-sensor, bio-chip, artificial organs and highly integrated wireless micro transceiver, which can be installed in/outside human body. The devices may be built in portable information terminals, or bio-diagnosis terminals may be fabricated separately, so that people can check their health condition at any time, and anywhere. And then, the health information can be transferred to the Internet data base of medical doctors in charge at hospitals through wireless transmission system. so that the telemidicine can be available. By developing such component technologies, this center will be taking a lead in e-health industry, POC industry, and portable diagnosis equipment, which is the next generation growth engine of industrial fields. This center focuses on specialization of top-level research center in Korea, where the well-constructed IT technology of Kwangwoon University and the BN, BT, which are the next generation new growth engine, are integrated with each other.

The research center will play a pivot role in leading Korea to the herb of medical instrument industries in the Northeastern Asia from now on.
