1) Ultrasensitive Biomarker Detection for Critical Neurodegenerative Conditions at Point-of-Care:
Point-of-care (POC) solutions are pivotal in the realms of personalized and precision medicine. Leveraging cutting-edge protein detection technology utilizing optical fibers, our focus lies in projects centered around the detection of trivial amount biomarkers associated with neurodegenerative conditions. The aim should be to screen the potential patients in early stages for medical intervention and management.
2) Digital Biomarkers and Data Analytics for Chronic Conditions:
In the management of chronic diseases, the routine collection and analysis of physical biomarkers have been essential. However, with the advent of digital technologies, the capability to gather digital biomarkers, empowering patients further in their healthcare journey. The integration of both physical and digital biomarkers has emerged as the prevailing approach in chronic disease management. FemTech, which focuses on female health, presents significant market potential. The major research would focus on female unmet medical needs like menopause related syndromes.
