diaPatch™
A non-invasive cervical cancer diagnostic patch
Our flagship product, diaPatch™, is a novel microneedle patch that detects cervical cancer biomarkers. It has many distinct advantages over the Pap smear test.
Non-Invasive
Applying a diaPatch™ is as easy as putting on a smart bandage. A Pap smear is not.
Faster Results
diaPatch™ allows for results to be available during the clinical visit while Pap smear results take up to 2 weeks.
Higher Sensitivity
diaPatch™ has a sensitivity of 98% while the Pap smear has a sensitivity of 55.4%. This leads to fewer false negatives.
Higher Specificity
diaPatch™ has a specificity of 99.5% while the Pap smear has a sensitivity of 98%. This leads to fewer false positives.
