We are building the next generation of rapid diagnostics by using particle assay parallelization powered by imaging and AI to move testing out of the lab and into everyday life.
Rapid Diagnostics • At-Home Quantitation • Telemedicine • Remote Patient Monitoring
Our company sees tremendous opportunity to develop a new generation of high-sensitivity diagnostics for at-home use by leveraging discoveries in super-resolution imaging, AI, and nanoparticle engineering. Our mission is to enable high-sensitivity diagnostics with low cost components - such as a smartphone camera.
Sensor tech, mobile compute, and at-home care have converged—enabling diagnostics beyond centralized labs.
Lower cost, faster trial endpoints, and continuous patient monitoring with minimal hardware.
The vast majority of assays are analog, in which the signal readout is the
average of 10s or 1000s of analyte molecules. ilytica has developed a low-cost digital platform – allowing for individual analytes to be resolved while also allowing our AI models
to correct some of the false-positive signals before aggregation into a finalized
readout.
This dramatically increases sensitivity and more importantly
robustness. Importantly, the ilytica platform doesn't count a fixed number of particles,
but can increase the counts arbitrarily to attain the desired level of sensitivity for
your biomarker of interest.
Discrete single-molecule readouts are captured, then quantified with robust statistics.
Lightweight models for segmentation & regression with built-in error detection.
A research grade product will be available soon. Designed for CLIA/510(k) routes, with traceable QC.
A multidisciplinary crew across bioengineering, optics, and ML.
