SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on developing a device for measuring drug concentration in vivo using a red LED light and a photodetector. The user seeks alternative models for testing without involving human or animal subjects. The conversation clarifies that the project is not related to photodynamic therapy but aims to gather data through non-invasive methods. Suggestions for simple testing procedures are requested to facilitate initial data collection.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of in vivo testing methodologies
  • Knowledge of photodetection techniques
  • Familiarity with drug concentration measurement principles
  • Basic concepts of optical properties of tissues
NEXT STEPS
  • Research non-invasive drug concentration measurement techniques
  • Explore optical modeling software for simulating light-tissue interactions
  • Investigate the use of phantoms for in vitro testing
  • Learn about photodetector calibration methods for accurate measurements
USEFUL FOR

Biomedical engineers, researchers in drug delivery systems, and developers of medical devices focused on non-invasive measurement techniques.

Hi,
I am building a device. I need an in vivo procedure to perform the experiment. The experiment is based on shinning the red led light on to something just say finger. But I can't test it on any people or animals as of now. I need measure the measure drug concentration. So I need some kinda of model to perform this experiment So that I can inject some kind of drug into something and when i shine the light I will have the photo detector that will absorb the left over light. please give me some suggestion on what type of models I can use.

Is this some form of photodynamic therapy? It really depends on what the intended application of the therapy is.
 
Its not related to photodynamic therapy. Its just a device that measures the concentration of drug when its inserted into body. So I just want to know if there are any simple testing procedures that can be done to get some kind of data without using humans and animals. Once the data is obtained we can use various formulas for calculations.
