RE: Decentralising medical diagnostics

in #technology7 years ago

Hey really cool project. I hope you guys can make it a reality in the near future.

...remote testing system for molecular diagnostics...
What does that all include? What kind of test can the system do? I guess it also needs trained staff to actually do the tests?
Sorry for all the questions, but I have no clue about anything connected to medical...

Hey, Thanks. We have blood sample preparation systems using the centrifuge and then DNA amplification via PCR and either we can offer QPCR or agarose gel electrophoresis. The system also includes a 1000x microscope and some other technology that we have developed but wont like to disclose yet. The system can test a large variety of things: Zika, HIV, TB, Malaria, Hep A,E, full range of STDs and more for this version of the system we will be implementing a procedural system that will allow nurses and other health workers to perform tests however this is not the final version. We have another exciting thing coming which is a portable one step system.

Oh cool. Seems like you could test for quite alot. Awsome.
And I can understand that some parts are kept a secret. I would do the same.

May I ask how you plan on saving or transfering the data? Can you for example connect it to the internet or save it on a SD-card?
