SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Patents and Patent Application(s)

    I. Optical-based microneedle (MN) sensors to detect analytes in 
dermal interstitial fluid in a minimally invasive manner are described. 
Compared to electrochemical MN strategies, optical sensing is largely 
unexplored but has numerous potential benefits, including enhanced 
shelf-life, avoidance of drift, decreased impact of biofouling, and a 
smaller form factor when not in active use. This strategy also avoids 
the considerable challenges associated with both implantable optical 
sensors and sensors that employ skin interstitial fluid wicking/
collection for downstream analysis.

Intellectual Property

    ``Transdermal Optical Silk Microneedle Sensors for Continuous 
Monitoring for Physiological Analytes in Interstitial Fluid.'' The 
invention is protected under US Provisional Patent Application Serial 
No. 63/615,081 filed on December 27, 2023, and PCT Patent Application 
No. PCT/US2024/062043 filed on December 27, 2024.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.
