Developing the next generation of medical devices and consumer products to leverage the potential of photosensitisers.

Problem

Multiple light-activated drugs have been developed. They have shown effectiveness in treating a range of diseases. However, these light-activated drugs have had limited impact on global and consumer health due to the delivery of light to these drugs in the body

Solution

Using microscale engineering we use functional LED and sensor technology to activate and measure light active drugs for therapeutics, diagnostics and consumer products. Our first therapeutic focus is delivering photoactivation therapy for the treatment of viral and bacterial infections.

Market

Our first market niche is mechanically ventilated patents with viral or bacterial pneumonia, which is responsible for 30,000 deaths and worth an estimated £10 Million within the UK each year. Our future market in pneumonia and sepsis are annually worth an estimated $30bn.
