Needleless sensor patch aims to replace frequent bloodwork

Now all they have to do is monitor INR readings for those on warfarin and you could have a running tally of it rather than the stupid two week blood draws. And getting cholesterol levels so you could see on a daily basis what your eating habits do.
Does anyone know how to contact Sano to suggest these items?

What if people who have a condition that requires frequent bloodwork could have continuous access to their basic metabolic panel readings without ever having to be poked by a needle?

Early-stage startup Sano Intelligence is taking this concept and running with it, developing a transdermal sensor patch that its founders think could continuously monitor metabolic panels and deliver that data to software platforms or mobile devices.

Founded by Raj Gokal and Ashwin Pushpala — and springboarding off a college project Pushpala worked on — Sano Intelligence is hoping to provide digitalized blood chemistry information to patients and providers through a variety of applications. The original idea was intended for use in diabetes patients, but the founders said they have decided instead to focus on less crowded spaces in healthcare.

Gokal and Pushpala will participate in the Rock Health acceleration program this spring.
