Each biosensor is engineered to serve a unique array of niche applications. These sensors currently detect Glucose, Lactate, and Neuropeptide-Y, with additional research and development currently underway for Cortisol, Ketones, and others in near future.
Our distinction: 100% non-invasive.
From their versatility of use, to groundbreaking insights, our suite of biosensors look to attain a deeper and more personalised set of treatment protocols, tackling issues from metabolic syndrome to high performance athletics.
Being a fundamental sugar and a primary energy source for the body's cells, it essentially helps maintain various physiological processes, including cellular respiration. Maintaining its homeostasis is crucial for overall health, as imbalances can lead to conditions such as diabetes.
Our biosensors are non-enzymatic that selectively react with glucose, producing an electrical signal proportional to its concentration.
Non-invasive monitoring of glucose in sweat allows for continuous tracking, aiding in the management of metabolic syndromes like diabetes. Early detection of abnormal glucose levels can prompt timely intervention, potentially preventing complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes
Monitoring glucose levels in athletes helps optimize fuelling strategies during training and competitions, ensuring adequate energy availability. Real-time glucose monitoring aids in preventing hypoglycaemia during intense physical activity, enhancing performance and reducing the risk of fatigue.
Lactate, a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, particularly during intense exercise plays a pivotal role in energy production. Monitoring lactate levels provides insights into the body's energy metabolism and can be indicative of exercise intensity and endurance capacity.
Our sensors typically utilize enzymatic reactions that specifically react with lactate, producing a measurable signal.
Monitoring lactate levels in sweat helps healthcare professionals prescribe exercise regimens tailored to an individual's metabolic capacity. This can be particularly useful in managing metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular diseases, or conditions involving impaired exercise tolerance.
Athletes and coaches use lactate monitoring to optimize training intensities. Understanding the lactate threshold—the point at which lactate production exceeds clearance—helps design training programs that enhance endurance and performance.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including the regulation of appetite, stress response, and cardiovascular function. Imbalances in NPY levels have been associated with conditions such as obesity, anxiety, and cardiovascular diseases.
Neuropeptide Y levels in sweat can be detected using specific immunoassays or biosensors designed to recognise and quantify this neuropeptide.
Abnormal NPY levels may be indicative of imbalances contributing to conditions like obesity. Personalized treatment plans, including dietary and behavioural interventions, can be tailored based on NPY levels.
Athletes often experience physical and psychological stress during training and competition. Monitoring NPY levels in sweat provides insights into the neuroendocrine response to stress, helping athletes and coaches optimize recovery strategies.
Cortisol, a steroid hormone plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, and regulation of blood pressure. Our biosensors are equipped with specific molecular probes that selectively bind to cortisol molecules, allowing for real-time monitoring.
Real-time cortisol monitoring provides insights into an individual's stress response, enabling the tailoring of personalized treatment plans.
Elevated cortisol levels may indicate overtraining, allowing coaches to adjust training regimens to prevent injuries and burnout. This information can guide interventions such as rest days, nutrition adjustments, and sleep optimization.
Monitoring ketone levels provides insights into the body's utilization of fats for energy.
Ketones, particularly beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), can be non-invasively detected using biosensors equipped with specific enzymatic or chemical probes allow for the real-time measurement of ketone concentrations.
It helps healthcare professionals assess the effectiveness of dietary interventions and in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and other metabolic disorders.
Athletes using ketogenic diets or incorporating intermittent fasting benefit from monitoring ketone levels in sweat to optimize training adaptations and fuel utilization during exercise.
