Development of a biochip to monitor cardiac wellness

Cel

The objective of the TOK project will be the development of a novel bio-diagnostic device, for the rapid and precise detection of a panel of 7 known risk factors for CVD. By monitoring these known risk factors it will be possible to detect the early stages of CVD before the appearance of clinical symptoms. This will allow doctors and patients to take preventative actions (therapeutic options or changes to lifestyle) to prevent the progression of/to CVD, resulting in reduced patient morbidity and mortality, allowing significant improvements in patient quality of life and longevity, keeping patients out of hospitals, and saving healthcare costs.
The availability of this simple test for use in a doctors office or even in the home will allow for improved outcomes for patients, through early diagnosis and management of disease and offering a holistic approach to preventative medicine.
The cardiac wellness biochip will integrate diverse technologies - multiple biological recognition, with highly sensitive signal generation and detection - onto a unique microfluidic platform.
The resultant test will be easy to use, simple and cheap to manufacture and produce results in minutes. The test methodology will involve the addition of a small drop of blood from a finger prick onto the device.
