Problem
Inflammation, driven by cytokines, is a major underlying factor in many chronic diseases, yet current medical testing is infrequent, expensive, and requires laboratory infrastructure, making real‑time monitoring impractical.
Solution
Biomarkr provides a compact silicon‑photonic immunoassay platform that quantifies a multiplex panel of cytokines from a microliter finger‑prick sample in under ten minutes. The solid‑state chip delivers laboratory‑grade sensitivity without bulky optics or complex calibration, enabling at‑home or point‑of‑care testing at a fraction of traditional costs. Collected data are uploaded to a cloud service where AI algorithms generate a personalized inflammation baseline and track longitudinal changes, contextualizing each measurement against individual factors such as age, stress, and time of day. This continuous immune intelligence allows users and clinicians to detect deviations early, personalize interventions, and potentially prevent progression of inflammation‑related conditions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health‑conscious individuals seeking continuous at‑home monitoring and clinicians or researchers who require frequent, high‑resolution inflammation data for preventive care and disease management.
