Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The partial pressures of gases, namely oxygen and carbon dioxide, in the arterial blood are important parameters for doctors to determine the respiratory conditions of patients. Currently in practice, there are a number of ways to measure these parameters, one of which is transcutaneous blood gas monitoring. This technique is a popular noninvasive measurement method for obtaining fast and relatively accurate responses. In this investigation, thick film technology has been employed to develop an amperometric oxygen sensor which consists of a heating module to elevate the temperature at the skin surface to transcutaneous levels. The heating module includes a heating element and its temperature is regulated by a temperature control circuit. Using an infrared camera, the transient and steady-state temperature distributions as ll as the stability of the heating element have been analysed. The influence of temperature on the oxygen sensing module is also studied. In addition, a three-dimensional theoretical model is established to evaluate the thermal response of the sensor and subsequently compared with the results from the practical prototype. With this model, the design stages can be simplified and future heating modules for transcutaneous sensors could be generated and improved more easily and effectively
