Company description

NIQS Tech Limited is a quantum technology spin-out from the University of Leeds and was officially incorporated in July 2022. Our patented sensing technology was developed in the leading research groups of Prof. Gin Jose and Dr Almut Beige. Our work represents the next generation of optical sensors that enables real-time, accurate biomarker monitoring, without breaking the skin surface or drawing blood samples.

Project impact

Rather than using traditional approaches to detecting glucose concentrations in the body which have numerous limiting factors, NIQS is utilising a novel optical appraoch. Using novel interactions known as ultralong-range dipole-dipole interactions. These interactions form our non-invasive sensing mechanism that enable us to perform targeted measurements within the system or sample we wish to investigate. We are able to harness these ultralong-range interactions using our unique sensor design (patent-pending). By performing targeted measurements, it means we are able to mitigate and reduce the effect of skin thickness, skin tone, and hydration levels to effectively provide a more accurate and reliable measurement compared to the spectroscopic approaches.

Projects

2024 Launchpad Lead participant

In-vivo studies for a quantum optical non-invasive glucose sensor

1 May 2024 to 30 Apr 2025

Awarded
£100,000
Total cost £100,000

There is a compelling need for affordable and accessible technologies that can aid in the early diagnosis of medical conditions to prevent ill-health by reducing the existing and future burden of disease, ensuring everyone can live long, healthy lives. These types of solutions are equally important for monitoring long-term health conditions that can be co...

2022 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Non-invasive quantum sensing for continuous glucose monitoring

1 Dec 2022 to 31 May 2024

Awarded
£169,297
Total cost £241,853

The objective of the project is to conduct in-vitro feasibility studies for a second- generation quantum sensor, codenamed LUX1, that optically monitors glucose in a revolutionary new way. Unlike currently available sensors, LUX1 will allow people living with diabetes (PLWD) to conveniently measure real-time glucose levels without drawing blood or breakin...
