The development of a point-of-care testing with high-sensitivity and real-time for maintaining human health is recently requested. Such a sensing device enables to detect bio substances let off from human and/or count pathogens (cells, viruses and so on) in the environment. As the sensing device to expand the point-of-care testing, we have proposed a casual sensing, which will sense not only the health condition but also the human stress and fatigue while being noticed by individual. In order to realize such a casual sensing device, the key method is to integrate essential devices to capture and detect bio substances let off from human on a transparent substrate of glass. Plasma processes have been driving the fine fabrication on various kinds of materials. The non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma has been used for the surface modification of materials, where the surface properties are easily changed to hydrophobic and hydrophilic, selectively. In my presentation, for the development of a casual sensing device, the adhesion and cultivation of cells on materials of which the surface was modified with the atmospheric pressure plasma will be introduced.
