Lab-on-Skin™? Technology System
Xsensio considerably expands the potential of wearable products with the development of a breakthrough wearable device that tracks – not physical data like today’s devices – but biochemical data in the interstitial fluid (ISF). At the core of Xsensio’s wearable innovation lies our proprietary 5x5mm Lab-on-SkinTM sensing chip that leverages cutting-edge nanotechnology, biochemistry and microfluidics to continuously collect ISF at the surface of the skin, and continuously analyze its biochemical composition to detect changes in real time that reflect physiological state. High miniaturization will allow us to include multiple sensors on the chip, each functionalized to target a specific biomarker of interest from hormones to proteins, for a rich multiparametric analysis. High miniaturization will allow us to reach high sensitivity and require very low biofluids volume.
Depending on the applications targeted, the Lab-on-Skin™ chip will be configured to include a set of sensors. Xsensio envisions a unique and proprietary sensing platform of products and services that will emerge from its proprietary Lab-on-SkinTM platform to address different applications across multiple markets. These products are all based on a common hardware platform, that consists of our wearable Lab-on-SkinTM system that contains our core customized chip, our proprietary skin interface and a wireless communication for on-demand or continuous streaming of data to a mobile phone. For each application, Xsensio will develop, alone or with its partners, a specific data analytics tool.
