Painless, efficient clinical diagnostics

SensiVida Medical Technologies

SensiVida Medical Technologies, Inc. is a minimally invasive bio-medical diagnostic device company. Its proprietary optical Micro-systems based technology automates bio-sensing and data acquisition while minimizing patient discomfort. The company's platform technology addresses a number of disease state diagnostics - allergy testing, pain-free automated glucose monitoring without bio-fouling, blood coagulation testing (e.g. for Coumadin patients), TB testing and cholesterol monitoring. The company has been developing two products based on its platform technology. The initial focus is to commercialize a highly accurate, rapid, 2X productive, pain- free allergy test system in the US ($1.6B market growing at a compounded rate of 7%). Several prototypes have been made and proof-of-concept human clinical trial has been completed. The second product, based on the same technology is a unique portable glucose monitor ($8B market growing at a compounded rate of 8%). This highly differentiated device consists of a patch having multiple individually - addressable sensors that are activated in accordance to the patient's test schedule, automatically measuring the glucose level without bio-fouling, clogging or daily calibration. In addition, the company possesses a unique Molecular Optical Biopsy technology (Photonic "pill") that permits the diagnosis of cancerous or pre-cancerous tissue without a biopsy.

Management

CEO Sarbadhikari, representing an experienced and successful corporate management team dedicated to excellence, said, "We are extremely excited by the prospects of being part of a new public company with a new capital structure, new name, new symbol, broad new platform technology with large market potential." We are a minimally-invasive diagnostic device company with proprietary, Microsystems-based technology that automates bio-sensing and data acquisition while minimizing patient discomfort. Our optical-digital "platform" technology addresses a number of multi-billion dollar market opportunities -disease-state diagnostics: allergy testing, pain-free automated glucose monitors without bio-fouling, blood coagulation testing, TB testing, and cholesterol monitoring. SensiVida has an exclusive worldwide license under nine pending patents. Several working prototypes of the allergy test system and proof-of- principle human clinical results have been accomplished. The product pipe line, based on the same technology "chassis", includes a portable glucose monitor. This device consists of a patch or chip having multiple, individually addressable sensors that are activated in accordance with the patient's test schedule, automatically recording the patient's glucose level without pain, bio-fouling or clogging.
