This June at Owlstone Medical

Owlstone Medical Wins Contract from U.S. Department of Defense

We have won a contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), for the development of a handheld device called 'EXHALE' that can detect respiratory infectious diseases through breath analysis. The goal is to provide a portable and non-invasive diagnostic solution for war fighters in remote environments where access to medical facilities is limited. This contract win is a testament to our commitment to advancing medical research and technology. Read the official announcement on our website.

Owlstone Features in Microbiome Times

In May, our groundbreaking work on exhaled breath analysis and its potential in microbiome research was featured in the Microbiome Times. The article authored by Dr. Madeleine Ball, highlights the significance of the microbiome in health and disease as well as, an exploration of the untapped potential of breath as a rich source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originating from the microbiome. Breath analysis offers advantages over traditional methods, allowing for location-specific and real-time monitoring of metabolic processes. You can read more about the feature and find links to the full article on our website.

Lights, Camera, Action at Owlstone Medical

This month we welcomed Lara Lewington and the BBC crew to Owlstone Medical to film for the latest episode of BBC Click. Click is the BBC’s flagship technology programme presented by Lara Lewington and Spencer Kelly, screened on both TV and Radio across 5 BBC channels and can also be found on BBC iPlayer.

Focusing on the latest technology and its impact on our daily lives, this was a very fitting opportunity for our patient-centric brand, OMED Health. Due to go live very soon, you can catch up on BBC iPlayer to learn more about how we can help those living with digestive health issues to gain back control on their gut health and make more informed decisions based on their microbiome. ?
