Nanotech diagnostics to test for diseases and track infection
Scientists, Engineer & Clinicians to develop early-warning sensors that can test & track serious infectious diseases using mobile phones & internet.
Scientists, engineers and clinicians are to develop early-warning sensor systems that can test and track serious infectious diseases using mobile phones and the internet.
This new EPSRC-funded Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC), led by UCL (University College London), will develop mobile health technologies that allow doctors to diagnose and track diseases much earlier than previously possible.
Academic partners include Imperial College, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Newcastle University and industry support will come from OJ-Bio, Microsoft, Cambridge Life Sciences, Mologic, O2 Health, Zurich Instruments, XFAB and Cepheid
