Monitoring patients in intensive care units is generally expensive and time consuming. A prompter medical intervention for those critical patients is a key factor for their safety. Therefore, a system that offers immediate visualization of the monitored data represents a great advance in the field. In this paper, the design, the development, and the validation of an android interface for the continuous and wireless monitoring of up to five compounds are described. Continuous monitoring of the biomolecules is addressed by using a fully integrated hardware platform consisting of biosensors connected to a read-out circuit on a printed circuit board. The electrochemical platform uses Roving's Bluetooth module RN-42 to send the measured data to the mobile device. For the validation of the system, some biomolecules are taken as reference: glucose and lactate for endogenous metabolites and paracetamol for exogenous …
