Rapid diagnosis system can save lives
The wait time for diagnosing infectious diseases is likely not even a point of consideration to the average healthy Canadian. But most people would agree that a device that allowed doctors to make more informed patient management decisions, improve antibiotic stewardship, shorten patient waiting times for treatment, shorten hospital stays, reduce unnecessary medical procedures and save critical health care dollars would be beneficial to the global health-care system.
Dr. James Mahony and his team at Advanced Theranostics are currently refining a device that will help achieve these results.
