Summary:In the present study, we describe attempts to develop medical/healthcare measurement devices from the body surface using microfabrication technology. These devices can be divided into two types: internal vessel diameter measurement from the body surface using ultrasound to measure blood pressure and vascular tone, and collection and measurement of biological substances and collection of cells from the body surface.
