Our concept
At PreDiagnose we develop sensors capable of identifying a variety of microorganisms and health markers. All the sensors are compatible with the measuring device that wirelessly is controlled by your smartphone or tablet.
Following fluid collection, the user can put a drop of the sample on top of the sensor, which can then be plugged into the hardware. Data is acquired and sent via Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone, which will use a hidden algorithm (software) to analyse the collected data and provide an easy-to-read result
PseudoSense
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infections are a major risk to patients with a compromised host defense mechanism such as those suffering from cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary disease, nosocomial pneumonia or urinary tract infections. Patients infected with PA are limited to late and poor diagnosis techniques. Consequently, they are left to deal with a difficult treatment, poorer life quality and shorter life expectancy. PseudoSense (Pseudomonas aeruginosa sensor) is a time- and cost-effective fast point-of-care device able to detect early and intermittent PA infections in a non-invasive manner.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the 2nd priority pathogen for which new antibiotics are urgently needed according to World Health Organisation.
Problem with current diagnostic tools
The treatment of PA infections is currently troublesome due to: a) the lack of early detection tools, allowing the bacteria to adapt by the diagnosis is established (up to 3.5 years after inception according to bioinformatics studies); b) patients are forced to go to the hospital frequently, where there is a higher risk of cross contamination; and d) high diagnostic costs associated with laboratory-assessment which take 2-5 days, thus limiting more frequent monitoring.
Our patentable method is capable of detecting bacteria before the conventional culturing. We have invented a patentable technology that is capable of identifying microorganisms and other relevant health markers.
