Diagnostics device for rapid identification and antibiotics susceptibility testing of pathogens

Objective

Biotrack is a SME focused on the development and commercialization of novel microbial detection technology to achieve real time and actionable diagnostics. Our technology is covered with a solid patent portfolio. We have identified a high market need for new pathogen detection techniques due to 2 main reasons: A) Dependency on standard microbiological protocols might delay early diagnosis; B) Growing demand for research and innovation, and a better quality and patient-centered technology due to the dramatic spread of antibiotic-resistant infections. Biotrack's innovative solution, Biotrack-MED, is a micro-laboratory capability solution for the rapid detection, identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of pathogens in any biological sample. Biotrack-MED is a fast and effective user-adaptable solution that combines multiple analytical principles for microbial identification and antibiotic pre-screening (total operative time: 0,5-4 hours), and it's capable of analyzing any microorganism (bacteria, virus, yeast). Our solution can be placed anywhere (includes a complementary mobile app) and it is equipped with state-of-the-art privacy and decision-making tools. Biotrack-MED offers a cost-effective low-cost substitution (50% saving) of traditional laboratories, and it does not require any skilled personnel to be used. Considering the advantages of our unique healthcare solution, our expected customers in the EU are public and private hospitals and clinics. We have estimated that 5 years after start of commercialization we will reach a ROI of 5.8.
