A Targeted Approach
In order to develop a Point-of-Care tool, various technologies including molecular medicine, nanobiotechnology, microfluidics, material sciences and biochemistry come together.
To realize this objective a balanced consortium of research partners and SME’s has been brought together, and a well-considered and logical work plan devised.
Research
The proof of concept of different parts of the final device are already designed in the lab
Development
Integrate proteomics and genomics technology into a functional single PoC device
Analysis
Comparing the PoCOsteo results with those of the current state-of-the-art of each technology separately
Commercialisation
Preparation for commercialisation of the tool to identify individuals at high-risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture.
Trusted Partners
We all partnered together to get the best tools and talents to realize our objective and to create an independent point-of-care bone health assessment tool.
