A universal immune activation monitor, real-time,
~$1 per test, no lab required. Starting with neonatal sepsis the most urgent and underserved diagnostic need in medicine.
Neonatal sepsis kills millions. Yet the diagnostic tools clinicians rely on are slow, expensive, infrastructure-heavy and often inaccurate costing precious hours when every minute counts.
Standard CRP and complete blood count tests require lab infrastructure and take far too long in sepsis emergencies where time equals survival.
Newer specialized sepsis tests cost $120–$200 per test, prohibitive for global health applications.
Existing tests need trained personnel and specialized equipment unavailable in most NICUs in low and middle-income countries.
CRP and CBC provide indirect inflammation markers, missing the earliest and most specific signal: neutrophil activation state.
NeutroScope measures neutrophil activation in whole blood using ultra-sensitive photonics the earliest measurable signal across virtually every major disease category.
Proprietary photon emission measurement captures neutrophil activation state directly in whole blood with no sample preparation.
Patent PendingResults in under 5 minutes. Validated in both murine and human blood with clear separation between activated and control states.
<5 minStick blood test, very small sample volume. Any clinical staff member can operate the device, no specialist technician needed.
Point-of-Care~$1 per test. Razor & blades model maximizes recurring revenue.
Three converging shifts made real-time immune activation monitoring viable for the first time and NeutroScope is the first to capture them in a single device.
Photonic sensor cost has fallen sharply over the past decade, enabling ultra-sensitive detection at consumer-grade price points.
Landmark research (Fridlender & Granot, Nature Cell Mol Immunol 2024) demonstrated neutrophil activation as the earliest measurable signal across infection, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Single-use microfluidic manufacturing costs have dropped dramatically as the technology matured, making disposable cartridges economically viable.
Working prototype validated with imurine and human blood. Clear photon emission signal distinguishes healthy from inflamed states and tracks treatment response in real time.
3× photon emission increase in inflamed vs. control murine blood. Statistically significant separation confirmed.
Real-time evaluation of treatment efficacy, signal drops to near-baseline 3 hours post-treatment.
PMA-activated human blood shows 4–6× photon emission vs. control over 8 minutes - clear, reproducible signal.
1 platform. 4 massive markets. Starting where the need is most acute.
Platform TAM - the optionality investors are buying, not a single diagnostic.
49M sepsis cases / 11M deaths per year. Real-time treatment guidance, not just diagnosis.
Neutrophils flag IBD, RA, and lupus flares, disease activity measured at point of care.
Surrogate biomarker for checkpoint inhibitor response via the tumor microenvironment.
Malaria, TB, COVID, first-line triage without a laboratory, anywhere in the world.
Entry through neonatal sepsis in high-incidence regions, expanding to developed-world hospital systems where the same device commands $10–100/test pricing.
