Sensill is developing a novel diagnostic technology system based on a proven approach to sensing skin/wound infection by identifying & quantifying the bacterial & fungal pathogens that cause it.
Sensill is developing a method of diagnosing skin/wound infections that is fundamentally different than standard methods. We're working on this to help doctors provide a greater degree of accuracy in diagnosis at the point of care when making a decision to treat an infection, while striving to enable them to monitor the patient's response to therapy.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by all living organisms including bacteria & fungi. Just like dogs are capable of picking up minute amounts of VOCs by simply smelling, we aim to capture & detect VOCs emitted by bacteria & fungi. Sensill is developing proprietary technology to identify & quantify the VOCs emitted by infectious microorganisms causing skin & wound infections.
