Diagnostics

A key pillar of affordable and accessible healthcare is simple, fast, and point-of-use diagnostic technologies. WRCB supports the development of diagnostic technologies ranging from sample preparation to biosensors and fully integrated systems. Several of our projects have progressed to a stage of advanced technology readiness levels. Here is a list of diagnostic technologies supported by WRCB.

ShapeDx: A point-of-care test for sickle cell disease

This is a fast and affordable point-of-care device to distinguish different sickle cell disorders (trait and disease) with very high accuracy. Results are obtained within 1 hour (20X faster) and at 1/10th the cost of HPLC. This invention is targeted to the underprivileged section of our society.

Wearable electrophysiology device

This is a continuous monitoring diagnostic device to monitor mental wellness and detect neurological disorders. A useful tool to understand brain activity and a guide to health specialists.

wFDCF Face Masks: A Wearable COVID-19 Diagnostic

The Problem The COVID-19 pandemic has made it starkly clear that the world lacks rapid, accurate diagnostic tests for pathogens. When patients arrive in a medical facility for treatment, the triage process is hindered by diagnostic tests that are inaccurate or take a long time to produce results
