Singapore is ranked second highest among developed countries for incidence of diabetes. Previously, glucose monitoring is performed through a needle prick test or capillary blood glucose test. Compared with blood testing, sweat testing offers the advantages of non-invasiveness, portability, and persistence. Analysis and detection of biomarkers in sweat can assist in the prevention, diagnosis, and especially monitoring of chronic diseases.  Wearable devices have been extensively explored in the last decade owing to their lightweight, bendability, stretchability, and ease of integration with human interfaces. Optical wearables are also known for their potential capability to perform remote sensing and detection of multi-parameters at the same time. Despite the rapid advancement in wearable optical sensors, one of the greatest challenges is the capability of multiplexed detection or multifunctionality on a single device. To overcome this limitation, micro-lasers offer unique advantages in terms of signal amplification and narrow linewidth. Strong light interactions between optical microcavities and biomolecules would therefore lead to distinctive lasing signals for sensing. However, there are no laser emitting based device which have been invented for physiological and clinical sensing applications on human before. This technology has developed the first laser emitting bandage for multiplexed detection through a non-invasive wearable laser device. The smart bandage can quickly detect metabolites in 2 minutes through sweat secreted on human skin. The technology owner is seeking collaborations with medical institutions to extend this technology to patients health monitoring or daily monitoring. This new technology is formed by embedding tiny laser sensors in a hydrogel patch. The bandage uses laser light emitted from the bandage to identify tiny fluctuations of glucose level in sweat and can offer a record low Limit of Detection (LOD). In addition, the device can detect multiple metabolites at the same time to help monitor health conditions more precisely. To obtain an active microlaser with biochemical sensing functions, a wearable thin film laser is developed by encapsulating cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) droplets in a flexible hydrogel thin film. Each single CLC microdroplet serves as a WGM microresonator. The three-dimensional cross-linked hydrophilic polymer serves as the adhesive layer to allow small molecules to penetrate from human tissue to the surface of droplet laser resonators. Due to the high-quality factor of the whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator, subtle changes in the liquid crystal droplets will be amplified, resulting in a wavelength shift in the laser emission spectra, which can then be applied for sensing and monitoring metabolite. Using a laser emitting technology, the flexible bandage is able to perform multianalyte sensing and detection of metabolites.  The market potential is substantial, with hundreds of millions of patients requiring daily glucose monitoring. Additionally, the device can be adapted to track multiple metabolites, further broadening its market scope. There are two primary factors that contribute to the appeal of this device. Firstly, it enables monitoring through sweat, eliminating the need for blood samples. Secondly, the technology is both cost-effective and affordable. Previous studies have investigated the possibility of using surface-enhanced Raman scattering, photonic crystals-based structural color, and polarized microscope for sweat sensing. This technology offers several advantages:  1. This device fulfils the required dynamic range, envisioned to be applied to daily health monitoring for low-cost and disposable usage. 2. This device is able to detect any desired target metabolites by simply modifying the CLC microdroplets. By embedding modified CLC microdroplets within a PAAm hydrogel film, both flexibility and physiological sensing capabilities on human skin was achieved, including lactate, glucose, and urea. The testing results has successfully attained remarkable levels of sensitivity and minimal limits of lactate, glucose, and urea detection. 3. This platform is very versatile. By altering the components of the droplets or the hydrogel substrate itself, the structure of microdroplets in the hydrogel film can be adjusted to any lasing wavelengths.

Nocturia is a common urinary complaint where one experience interruption of sleep with one or more times at night to void. The current assessment of nocturia is primarily clinical and relies mainly on patients documenting their own bladder diary to complete a Frequency-Volume Chart (FVC) of volume and times of urination between a 24-to-72-hour period. This conventional way of assessment is a manual and inadequate way of diagnosing nocturia. An individual is diagnosed with nocturnal polyuria if the total urine output at night exceeds one-third of total daily output. This technology has developed a point-of-care urine osmometer for the monitoring and profiling of day- and night-time variation in urine osmolality, providing clinicians with valuable insights to facilitate more accurate, objective diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for nocturia. This device is portable and attached with a readout sensor, designed to be user friendly. The technology owner is seeking collaborations with: Medical Institutions and Healthcare Providers: To facilitate clinical validation, implementation, and integration of the portable urine osmometer into routine diagnostic practices for nocturia and other related conditions. Device Manufacturers: To miniaturize the prototype, scale up production, ensure quality control, and help bring the device to market. Research Institutes: To collaborate on further R&D , particularly in optimizing the technology and exploring additional applications, such as hydration monitoring for athletes and military personnel. Data Analytics Partners: To develop advanced software and algorithms for precise data interpretation, which can enhance the device’s diagnostic capabilities and provide more personalized treatment options. Current state-of-the-art for urine osmolality measurement uses a freezing point osmometer, which is often bulky, expensive, and requires specialized training to operate. To address these limitations, a portable urine osmometer that uses impedance measurement coupled with refractive index measurement and activated carbon absorption was developed. This innovative approach provides a quick and accurate measurement of urine osmolality. In a clinical trial involving 225 urine samples, an accuracy of 94.4 ± 5.0% was achieved, comparable to the gold standard freezing point osmometer. The device's compact design allows for easy home use, making it ideal for patients with nocturia to monitor their condition without frequent clinic visits. The current pain point in diagnosing and managing nocturia lies in the absence of an objective and quantitative method. Current clinical diagnosis relies heavily on a cumbersome 3-day bladder diary, which is insufficient but also results in inaccuracies and poor patient compliance. Consequently, urologists are left with the challenging task of providing a diagnosis for the underlying cause of nocturia which may lead to a trial-and-error approach on the medications prescribed. This results in suboptimal management of the condition, leading to unresolved patient discomfort and dissatisfaction. The proposed solution aims to revolutionize the approach to diagnosing and treating nocturia by introducing a portable point-of-care device for urine osmolality profiling. The portable urine osmometer is not only useful for diagnosing nocturia but has potential applications in assessing, monitoring hydration status and renal function in various populations, particularly in athletes, elderly, and military personnel. The market potential for portable urine osmometer, particularly in addressing nocturia, is significant. The global market for nocturia-related drugs is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%, highlighting the increasing demand for effective nocturia management solutions. Given the high prevalence of nocturia, with approximately 1 in 10 people experiencing moderate to severe symptoms, and the current limitations of diagnostic methods, there are substantial opportunities for a portable urine osmometer. This device offers a cost-effective and accessible alternative to the traditional freezing point osmometer. This technology offers a more precise measurement in assisting physicans on the diagnosis for nocturnal polyuria and providing significant improvement to patient protocol. Besides that, the technology enhances several UVP over the conventional methodology which includes: Providing a comprehensive day and night urine osmolality profile in a home setting with an objective and quantitative readout over the current reliance on subjective bladder diaries.  Compared to existing devices in the market, this device has a much smaller footprint than a laboratory based freezing point osmometer. The device is simple to use and enables a cheaper manufacturing cost. It has a short turnaround time with a 3-minutes readout duration.  An affordable consumer device as the consumable per test is a plastic container pre-filled with activated carbon and a disposable urine container.  Urine, Osmolality, Osmometer, Nocturia, Nocturnal Polyuria, Urine Concentration Healthcare, Diagnostics, Medical Devices
