The inherent merits of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and its high integration with multiple technologies makes it possible to detect weak biomagnetic signals with micron-sized, non-cooled and low-cost sensors, considering that the magnetic field intensity attenuates rapidly with distance. This paper focuses on the state-of-art in integrated GMR technology for approachable biomagnetic sensing from the perspective of discipline fusion between them. The progress in integrated GMR to overcome the challenges in weak biomagnetic signal detection towards high resolution portable applications is addressed. The various strategies for 1\/f noise reduction and sensitivity enhancement in integrated GMR technology for sub-pT biomagnetic signal recording are discussed. In this paper, we review the developments of integrated GMR technology for in vivo\/vitro biomagnetic source imaging and demonstrate how integrated GMR can be utilized for biomagnetic field detection. Since the field sensitivity of integrated GMR technology is being pushed to fT\/Hz0.5 with the focused efforts, it is believed that the potential of integrated GMR technology will make it preferred choice in weak biomagnetic signal detection in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18010148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,8]],"date-time":"2018-01-08T12:26:02Z","timestamp":1515414362000},"page":"148","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Integrated Giant Magnetoresistance Technology for Approachable Weak Biomagnetic Signal Detections"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hui-Min","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310028, China"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310028, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"151","article-title":"Magnetocardiography: Current status and perspectives.
