Problem
Traditional biomarker detection methods often require specialized laboratory equipment and trained personnel, limiting accessibility for point-of-care testing and at-home use. Existing solutions can be expensive and time-consuming, hindering rapid health assessments and timely interventions.
Solution
Bio-Streams offers the traxPlatform, a point-of-care testing solution comprised of low-cost, transistor-based sensors and a universal, Bluetooth-enabled reader. The traxSensors are functionalized to bind to a specific target of interest, and when inserted into the traxReader, capture the electrical charge created when the target binds. Results are displayed within minutes on a smartphone via the mytrax app. The platform enables researchers, diagnostic companies, and end-users to develop and deploy rapid, accurate biomarker detection tests without the need for extensive training or infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers developing biomarker assays, diagnostic companies seeking to commercialize point-of-care tests, and consumers interested in at-home health monitoring.
