Program Purpose:
The project develops a novel point of care diagnostics tool for screening allergy sensitivities. Based on ExVivox000D
Labs pioneering low cost paper based sensors, a low cost IoT enabled and portable florescence reader isx000D
developed to determine the concentration of Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) concentration. Developed technologyx000D
will provide ExVivo Labs a complete solution to market their breakthrough low cost sensors for allergyx000D
detection and provide medical practitioners systems to diagnose the allergy sensitivity and monitor IgE levels atx000D
point-of-care, a test that currently requires a lab-visit and follow-up appointment.
