In this thesis different methods and devices for distributed measurements of biomedical variables with potential applications in diabetes and tuberculosis, have been investigated. The “Lab-on-a-chip“ (LOC) devices are miniaturized microfluidic analysis systems, which operate with small volumes of samples and reagents, aimed to be a compact and disposable alternative to classical instrumentation of equivalent performance. An economical and efficient method for the micro-fabrication of LOCs using a 3D printer has been investigated and developed. This novel method (reported in 23) allows manufacturing of established type LOCs in polydimethylsiloxane, with complex geometries and with multilayer structures, but without using specialized equipment or clean room facilities. A multi-layer LOC has been developed which integrates a functionalized area, which has a dynamic light absorption response related to the glucose concentration in solution, within the relevant clinical range. It has been shown that a Smartphone is a good measurement platform for the LOC optical response, enabling measurement of absorption variations in time with a resolution of 0.011%, which improve in those of intensity (0.39%) by more than 35 times. This device is suitable with the clinical range for diabetes monitoring. The method of microscopic observation of drug susceptibility (MODS) is a fast and inexpensive technique for early diagnosis of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). It is based on the microscopic observation of growth characteristics of bacteria in a sputum culture placed on a plate (MODS plate). Optical devices, which replace the inverted microscope used in MODS, have been developed. The two first economic prototypes (reported in 60) have shown that is possible to replace the inverted microscope with a simple and inexpensive solution that includes an image acquisition system. It was found that the correlation of the second prototype instrument with standard measurements was 96.61%. The third prototype (reported in 61), was an automated MODS plate reader, the first demonstration of its kind. The concordance of the diagnosis of TB based on digital images obtained with this prototype and digital images obtained with the standard instrument was 100%. The developed devices could be part of a distributed measurement system for telemedicine, especially for solutions in diabetes and tuberculosis Keywords: Lab-on-a-chip, optical devices, point of care, microfabrication, 3D printer, glucose detection, MODS.
