Bio*Sense™ is designed to support NASA’s astronaut health monitoring goals for long-duration manned spaceflight. Mission controllers and flight crew will have increased confidence that potential health issues can be detected early and proactively, well before becoming acute, thereby supporting astronaut health maintenance and mission focus.
The Bio*Sense™ platform is an integrated photonic system for the analysis of protein and creatinine levels in whole blood for kidney health assessment and related challenges (e.g., ulcers). It will provide portable, affordable, real-time, high-accuracy measurement capabilities for point-of-care use in human, veterinary and agricultural applications. The product will be a stand-alone device including photonics, microfluidics, and microelectronics.
