Problem
Traditional methods for monitoring kidney function often require laboratory equipment, trained personnel, and can be time-consuming, hindering frequent and convenient testing. Current diagnostic approaches may also require large sample volumes and lack the ability to provide real-time results.
Solution
Gisens Biotech offers a nanotechnology-based point-of-care diagnostic platform for real-time monitoring of renal biomarkers. Their portable device, about the size of a smartphone, measures urea, creatinine, and potassium levels from a single drop of blood, urine, or saliva. The device incorporates highly sensitive biosensors that do not require chemical reagents or calibration. Results are transmitted via Bluetooth to a dedicated application on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, enabling easy access, sharing, and long-term data storage. Healthcare professionals can utilize a dedicated app with comprehensive reports for real-time patient follow-up.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with kidney conditions requiring frequent monitoring, healthcare providers in nephrology and primary care, and clinical researchers focused on renal disease.
