Aim

Develop a non-invasive diagnostic platform that uses sweat analysis to detect clinical biomarkers.

Description

Traditional medical tests for children, including newborns, are invasive and time-consuming. They increase the risk of blood loss and infections, especially in premature infants who may require up to 17 blood tests per day during their first weeks of life. This project aims to create a non-invasive diagnostic platform that uses sweat analysis to identify clinical biomarkers. The technology provides a safe and painless alternative, enabling real-time health monitoring and early detection of potential issues.
