BEHIND THE SCIENCE

Focused on providing insights to clinicians.

MediBeacon’s use of proprietary fluorescent tracer agents coupled with transdermal detection technology focuses on providing vital and actionable measurement of organ function.

The Company’s Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) is engineered for noninvasive detection of the change in levels of a fluorescent GFR tracer agent over time via a sensor placed on the patient’s skin. The TGFR Sensor measures the intensity of Lumitrace® fluorescence 2.5 time per second. The rate of change in the emitted fluorescence from Lumitrace is automatically calculated and displayed on the monitor yielding a transdermal GFR (tGFR).

LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES

Shining new light on physiological measurement.

PRODUCT PIPELINE

An extensive portfolio of light-activated agents.

Fluorescence and optical sensor-based systems are being optimized to provide physiological function monitoring at the inpatient and outpatient point of care.

88%

of doctors would like their patients to monitor their health at home, particularly their weight, blood sugar, and vital signs.
