Research & Development

Asthma is affecting more than 300 million persons all over the world; with approximately 250,000 annual deaths 685 every day. It is triggered by allergens present in the environment such as pollen, animal dander, dust mites, urban population, enlarging intercity industries, air pollution and other environmental factors. It is important to detect the right allergen before treating a patient. 

Asthmosensor, is a digital biosensor device that would detect the potential asthma causing allergens such as pollens in a patient's surrounding environment. It is an antibody based biosensor which employs antibody-antigen reaction to detect asthma causing antigen (pollen) in the ambient air. It will provide real time data for patient and doctor to design a better diagnostic strategy to fight against asthma.
