Problem
Traditional methods of monitoring biochemical markers often rely on invasive procedures like blood draws, which can be inconvenient, uncomfortable, and limit the frequency of testing. This makes it challenging to track real-time changes in biomarkers for applications such as substance use monitoring, metabolic health, and disease management. The need for frequent and accessible monitoring creates a demand for non-invasive alternatives.
Solution
Arborsense develops wearable transdermal sensors that enable rapid, continuous, and non-invasive monitoring of biochemical markers through sweat. Their technology utilizes a patented nanosensor platform to detect clinically relevant chemicals transpiring through the skin. The sensors provide real-time data, allowing for timely detection and proactive interventions. The company offers solutions for compliance monitoring, research, and consumer health, providing insights into substance intake, metabolic health, hydration, and stress levels without the need for blood draws.
Target Audience
Arborsense serves a diverse customer base, including individuals in court-mandated programs, treatment centers, medical researchers, and health enthusiasts seeking to monitor their well-being.
