“The Future of Biotechnology … Today”

March 27, 2012 A blood test without bleeding

Myshkin Ingawale and his team from Biosense Technologies have come up for a solution that is a prick-free blood hemoglobin measurement device. This would heavily reduce pain and blood loss encountered when testing for hemoglobin. Designing the device was not easy, Ingawale tried 32 different designs before reaching an effective solution. The team at Biosense hopes this technology will be used in the developing world where cost and access is limited. It is always pleasing to see Biomedical Engineers improve and re-invent existing technologies to lower the cost, improve efficiency, and improve the design.
