Innovating at the Intersection of Science and Healthcare: Dream Boldly, Act Bravely, Transform Lives
What if there were a device that could revolutionize the way doctors diagnose and treat skin infections? This isn't science fiction.
Sensill is developing a portable, hand-held, noninvasive, real-time solution that works right at the doctor's office (outpatient clinic), in the ER, ambulatory surgical center, urgent care center, nursing home, assisted living & hospice care facility as well as long-term rehabilitation centers (point-of-care anywhere).
Imagine, within minutes a device that can:
? Diagnose both bacterial and fungal infections
? Monitor response to treatment (theranosis)
? Utilize AI to predict your prognosis
The science behind this innovation is fascinating. Infected skin releases unique "fingerprints" of gas called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Sensill technology analyzes these VOCs to identify the specific strain of bacteria or fungus causing your infection, all without needles or biopsies.
The benefits extend far beyond convenience. Sensill aims to:
? Reduce hospital stays by an average of 2.5 days
? Save hospitals $2 million per year
? Lower the risk of treatment failure by 44%
? Reduce the overall economic burden of skin infections by 77%
This translates to improved hospital efficiency, better patient outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
The competitive advantage is clear. Traditional methods like wound cultures are invasive, painful, and agonizingly slow, taking days to deliver results. Sensill offers a real-time solution, providing doctors with the information they need to make informed treatment decisions immediately at the point of care in addition to the ability of being able to monitor your response and compliance with the therapy.
We envision a future where doctors can target the exact cause of your infection right away, monitor your progress, and get you on the path to recovery faster. Sensill technology has the potential to transform skin infection diagnosis and treatment, leading to a healthier future for everyone.
