About preventive health monitoring

Micronutrient deficiency is what most of the work on Halo detects, through thirteen different routes: enzymatic fuel cells on paper, inkjet-printed sensors, synthetic receptors, cell-free biosensors, a glucometer repurposed, lateral flow. Around them sit multi-omics platforms and wearables reading a signal continuously. On Halo it spans four groups, including detecting a micronutrient, reading a biofluid deeply, and wearables and continuous tracking.

Stage of development. Work on preventive health monitoring on Halo is split between university programs and companies. 43% of the solutions are in market. Binghamton University has the most, followed by Swansea University. Co-development and licensing are the usual partnering routes, and about 26% of the solutions that state terms offer equity investment.

Three trends in preventive health solutions on Halo

Thirteen routes to one deficiency. Paper enzymatic fuel cells, reactive inkjet printing, synthetic receptors in place of antibodies, cell-free biology, ion-selective electrodes in a patch, a repurposed glucometer, colorimetric lateral flow read by eye. Every one detects a micronutrient at home and every one attacks cost or sample volume. It is the same request answered from thirteen directions.

One company brought the whole stack. Three entries from the same group cover a nasal fluid microsampler, the multi-omics analysis run on what it collects, and the data platform underneath for airway biology. Almost every other entry is a single component. Collection, assay and interpretation are usually three businesses, and one company brought all three.

Prevention means measuring the healthy. Nothing on this list diagnoses a disease. An index of immune cell metabolism, exfoliomics reading intestinal absorption, continuous stress sensing tied to hormonal balance, urinary metabolites read for diet. These are measurements taken from people with no complaint, which is a harder commercial proposition and a much larger one.
