A New Concept of Medical Devices

SEPSIS: A LIFE – THREATENING EMERGENCY

An unsolved problem.

Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming response to infection which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and, eventually, death in few hours. Unlike other diseases, there is no one test for sepsis testing. Any infection (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic), can trigger sepsis, which can lead to severe sepsis and septic shock, where the survival rate depends on a quick reaction. However, it is currently diagnosed based on secondary tests like blood culture, which can take several days to get the results. There is a need for new diagnostics methods that allow the rapid identification of the pathogens causing the infection in order to avoid the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Our Technology

Fast. Sensitive. Accurate.

Nanological technology is based on the combination of different approaches for a common objective: the fast Sepsis diagnostics. By combining our expertise in physical science and technologies with the fascinating possibilities offered by data science we are able to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy in the pathogen detection. In that sense, we have combined optics, nanomechanics and machine learning obtaining a new concept of medical devices.
