Enabling non-invasive diagnostics: introducing the BreathPod breath sampler
FY 2021-22
Summary
Our overall goal is to produce high quality breath samplers to enable and meet the growing needs of the global breath analysis and research market. The goal of this Phase 1 project is to miniaturize and de-risk our breath sampler (aka, the BreathPod) and set up a company to house the product. Breath-based diagnosis and monitoring for human and animal diseases is a fast-growing market and one in need of a reliable, easy-to-use, multi-animal use, analytical instrument-agnostic breath sampler for biomarker discovery and validation. The market is vast and heterogeneous. Our BreathPod provides a universal platform to work with human and animal applications. The Phase 1 objectives are to: - Complete the design and development, and laboratory and field testing of our BreathPod,- Submit new IP,- Establish a company to commercialize the BreathPod, - Product refinement from customer engagement- Product design for the BreathPod manufacturing optimization at scale- Engage leading analytical partners in preparation for market entryAt the end of this project, we will have a fully tested prototype ready for manufacturing as well as have established the company and the company relationships, needed to realize the BreathPod as a commercial reality.
