Projectdetails

Introduction

Today, dogs are used to detect high and low blood glucose, cancers, and are tested for coronavirus. The new Lassie breath analyser BOYDSense will put the power of a dog’s nose into people’s hands and give them access to gentle health monitoring.

Problem Statement

Lassie starts with diabetes as it is an immense burden for 40 million people in Europe. Current glucose monitoring technologies are underused because they are:

  • Highly invasive
  • Expensive
  • Stigmatising
  • Generate a lot of waste

Solution

Lassie will transform this situation by making measurements painless, simple, discreet, and cost-effective without any consumables. By analysing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the breath, Lassie will calculate blood glucose value within current accuracy standards.

Benefits

As a result, Lassie users will:

  1. Test earlier in the disease
  2. Test more frequently
  3. Achieve better diabetes management
  4. Experience significant cost savings

Future Outlook

EIC Accelerator will put BOYDSense on track to become a global leader in non-invasive diabetes monitoring.
