SouthWestSensor Limited is a spin-out company from University of Southampton. The current market for wearable sensors is over £100M, growing at a CAGR of 47% in the next 5 years. Moreover the emergence of the mobile healthcare is likely to accelerate this market's growth by many folds. SouthWestSensor Limited (SWS) is positioned to capture this wave with its proprietary technology: Continuous chemical monitoring. The first product, named Fluicorder, is a palm-sized novel microfluidic based sensor device. The device is fully integrated and automatic, can sample biofluids up to a few thousand times per day (each sample only takes <2 nano-litres), and can analyse each sample in real-time to measure accurately the concentrations of biomolecules of interest (e.g. glucose, lactate, K+, or drug molecules, etc.), and communicate the data in real-time and wirelessly to clinicians or patients. The patent was filed in 2014 and is now in PCT stage. The prototype device has been designed and tested in the laboratory and is ready for tests in clinical settings. Early market investigation suggests the first target market segments are 1) Clinical or scientific researches and 2) drug development. There are no compitive technologies. SWS will design, manufacture and market the sensor devices, and obtaining revenues from sales, services and licensing.
Started to show impact of the advanced sensor technology by providing disruptive solutions.
