Lab-on-Skin to Detect Sepsis Before It's Too Late: Esmeralda Megally, Xsensio
If you suddenly slide into sepsis, there’s a 50% chance you’ll survive. Because it is so hard to detect it.
Lab-on-Skin works to change it. And has the Mayo Clinic on their side.
Today you’ll hear about
- continuous shock monitoring – to detect the earliest symptoms of sepsis
- how to assess sepsis
- nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, nanofluidics
- and the unexplored wealth of our interstitial fluid
Esmeralda Megally is the CEO and co-founder of Xsensio. Having worked in the US on the launch of a new Investment Fund backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, she found her entrepreneurship call in Switzerland.
Xsensio is a Swiss startup, a spinoff from the Nanolab at EPFL that develops Lab-on-Skin. It’s a medical-grade wearable that tracks biochemical information for continuous remote monitoring of patients at risk – sepsis for the start. But there's way more to come, so keep an eye on them:
