What if we can query the body instead of a biological sample to intercept early disease?

About This Idea

Glympse Bio was built by a team that is pioneering miniaturized biological sensors. Using breakthroughs in science, engineering, medicine and artificial intelligence – the sensors are designed to be deployed inside the body and query target organs for indicators of disease activity. In many of today’s most common and serious diseases, few biological markers have been identified that can reliably detect early disease or track response to treatment. Our mission is to build a future where disease is intercepted earlier, better therapies are developed faster, people don’t become patients and patients are returned to health.
