Problem
Patients with chronic conditions, such as heart and kidney failure, often require frequent monitoring of molecular biomarkers to manage their health effectively. Traditional methods involve blood draws, which can be inconvenient, inaccessible, and may delay timely interventions. This can lead to serious health complications, including cardiac events and disease progression.
Solution
Metyos offers a wearable biosensor patch for real-time, continuous monitoring of key molecular biomarkers without the need for blood draws. The device gently accesses the skin's interstitial fluid via painless microcones, providing medical-grade quality measurements. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth to a patient's smartphone and then to a secure server, allowing healthcare professionals to remotely access and monitor patient data. This enables timely adjustments to treatments and personalized recommendations, helping to prevent serious health events and improve patient outcomes. The system provides alerts and extracts key features from the continuous data stream, offering valuable insights into a patient's physiological state.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with chronic conditions like heart and kidney failure, as well as healthcare professionals, including doctors and specialists in nephrology and cardiology, who manage these patients.
