Problem
Traditional methods of monitoring health biomarkers often rely on invasive blood tests or less accurate, infrequent measurements, failing to provide a continuous and comprehensive view of an individual's health status. Existing wearable sensors may also lack the ability to track a wide range of critical medical biomarkers for early condition detection.
Solution
Lura Health is developing a wearable intra-oral sensor that provides continuous monitoring of saliva, offering a non-invasive method to track a wide array of health and disease markers. The sensor integrates comfortably into existing dental hardware or attaches painlessly to a tooth, capturing real-time saliva readings. This data is then transmitted to a smartphone application, providing users with clear, intuitive data analysis and health alerts. The longitudinal data can be shared with doctors for long-term analysis, enabling early condition detection and patient-specific insights.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals interested in proactive health management, as well as dentists, physicians, and other healthcare providers seeking advanced diagnostic tools for early disease detection and personalized patient care.
