Problem
Current methods for breast cancer detection often involve invasive procedures and expensive equipment, leading to patient discomfort and delayed diagnoses, particularly in resource-limited settings. The need for specialized facilities and trained personnel further restricts accessibility to timely and accurate screening.
Solution
Veritie Diagnostics is developing a non-invasive in vitro diagnostic platform leveraging Raman Spectroscopy and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for the detection of high-incidence diseases, initially focusing on breast cancer. By analyzing urine samples, the technology aims to provide rapid and accurate results at the point-of-care. This approach seeks to minimize the necessity for invasive procedures, reduce healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes through earlier detection. The platform combines photonics and machine learning to identify disease-specific biomarkers in a readily accessible bodily fluid.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers, diagnostic laboratories, and hospitals seeking cost-effective and non-invasive screening tools for breast cancer, as well as women requiring routine breast cancer screening.
