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.
Development – integrate proteomics and genomics technology into a functional single PoC device
Clinical validation – comparing the PoCOSteo results with those of the current state-of-the-art of each technology separately
Commercialisation – preparation for commercialisation of a Point-of-Care tool for bone disease assessment
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.
