Problem
Patients and clinicians lack a quick, non‑invasive method to assess antioxidant capacity and oxidative stress, leading to delayed or indirect evaluations that rely on laboratory tests or invasive sampling.
Solution
The company offers a patented BioPhotonic Scanner that uses light‑based photonic spectroscopy to measure carotenoid concentrations directly in living tissue. By quantifying these pigments, the device provides an immediate indication of a person’s overall antioxidant status and oxidative stress level. Results are displayed on the handheld unit within seconds, enabling point‑of‑care decision making. Data can be securely uploaded to a cloud platform for longitudinal tracking and integration with electronic health records. The technology supports personalized nutrition and lifestyle counseling by linking objective biomarker data to dietary recommendations. Clinicians can use the scanner to monitor intervention efficacy without sending samples to external labs.
Target Audience
Primary users are healthcare providers—including physicians, dietitians, and wellness clinics—who need rapid, objective assessments of antioxidant status for patient counseling and monitoring. The scanner is also valuable for research institutions studying diet‑related health outcomes.
