CARE-MAN: Health care by biosensor measurement and networking

Abstract
Care-Man (Health CARE by Biosensor Measurements And Networking), intends to provide a validated, intelligent, next-generation diagnostic system based on biosensor technology with new detection capabilities and integrated sample-handling to address the most common diagnostic problems in the EU.

The objective of the project is to improve patient care by introducing a multianalyte system that will allow to substitute sequential measurements of key analytes with a parallel setup. This multianalyte approach will simplify the diagnostic procedure by obtaining results at the point-of-care (at first physician-patient contact) and shall be designed for use in hospitals and, in the future, also in doctors’ practises or for postoperative bedside home surveillance.
Major activities of the project will be related to diagnostic improvement in cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation and sepsis, coagulation disorders, and thyroid disorders.
