Biosensor technology is transforming healthcare, from cancer screening to pregnancy support.
Professor Madhu Bhaskaran and her team at RMIT are developing a simple saliva-based test that could change how we detect and manage serious health conditions.
This small device works like a digital RAT. When connected to an app, it helps people track their health from home in real time, without needing regular blood tests.
It can be used in a wide range of situations, including early cancer screening, monitoring of kidney and heart problems, and as part of pregnancy care. It is especially valuable for communities with limited access to healthcare, where early diagnosis can save lives.
With new labs ready to produce thousands of kits and sustainable packaging underway, this innovation is close to reaching those who need it most. Your support can help make this possible.
By giving today, you will help bring wearable and connected biosensor technology to life and improve outcomes for patients experiencing serious health challenges.

The impact of your support
We look forward to being able to diversify this Australian innovation and invention into new, exciting fields of use. Your gift will help place this biosensor technology into the hands of people whose access to healthcare is limited, such as remote Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities. You will also be supporting skills development for early-career engineers and scientists on our team.
