Novel Antibody Testing Company - Market Introduction

A couple of years ago I was introduced to a company and found the technology fascinating. The company created a cutting-edge medical diagnostic home testing product and service. The company www.immunoprofile.com has launched with access to buy an antibody test panel.

This is the first at home CLIA approved serology test panel to measure IgG antibody levels across multiple vaccine preventable diseases to determine protection levels. This private at home test requires only a finger prick of blood which provides a qualitative result with an easy to read and understand numerical output for the eleven listed infectious diseases.

• Diphtheria
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• H.Influenzae B
• Measles
• Mumps
• Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
• Polio
• Rubella (German Measles)
• Tetanus (Lockjaw)
• Varicella Zoster (Chicken Pox)

There are multiple value propositions:

-It is CLIA approved. (The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) regulations include federal standards applicable to all U.S. facilities or sites that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease.)

- You can do this at home, without having to go to a lab to give multiple vials of blood.

- Instead of one test result, you can get eleven test results, which dramatically lowers the cost.

-HSA / FSA eligible

- Provides peace of mind knowing your antibody status

I took the test a month ago as part of a pre-launch. It was easy, straightforward, mailed everything (all mailers and supplies are included). A few weeks later I was notified that my lab results are ready and I logged into the secure web portal and downloaded my PDF test results. I showed this to my family practice physician and they asked me if it would be OK to include the test results in my electronic medical record.

An interesting observation was a few months ago, I was asked do you wanted the shingles shot by my family physician. At that time, I really had no way to know my protection level against Varicella Zoster (Chicken Pox). Perhaps if I had this test earlier, I may not have needed that shingles shot.

Bottom line, this is a game changer for traditional antibody testing as we know it.

Noticed is the aspect of inductive wireless charging that works with any compatible available inductive charging.

From the healthcare vertical and other enterprise verticals this has many benefits.

- It eliminates cleaning of the physical contacts between the mobile device and the charger which is a requirement in healthcare.
- Cleaning solutions over time can also cause damage to charging ports over time.
- Physical charging ports can simply wear out over time by repeated charging. This then requires the expensive replacement of the mobile device as the physical charging ports are built into the device.

Personal Heart Monitors

Personal Heart Monitors – Wall Street Journal

An interesting article came out on October 10, 2022.  The article was written by a physician that addressed the issue of anxiety related to personal heart monitoring devices.  Reference “My watch says I off, what do I do, October 03,  Journal other author. As indicated in this article, “none of these devices can detect the electrical indicators of a heart attack which has much greater morbidity and mortality than atrial fibrillation.” “Lay people could easily misinterpret the advertising of these device manufactures”. The overall outcome of this article was “to have regular check ups and alerting your provider when new symptoms arise. “This approach is evidence based and cost effective, per the author.

It is important to focus on a holistic approach to managing your health.  This means that any personal health monitoring device needs to be multi-parameter.  It should correlate all this information in a way so that the individual has the information at hand.
