New apparatus and methods for disease detection

Abstract

The invention relates to apparatus and methods for apparatus for detecting presence or monitoring profession of a disease in a biological subject, comprising a chamber in which the biological subjectpasses through, and at least one detection transducer in the chamber; wherein at least two types of information among the chemical composition, cellular classification, and molecular classification ofthe biological subject, are detected and collected for analysis as to whether the disease is likely to be present or progressing with the biological subject.

Description

[0001] This application asserts U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 470,181, filed March 10, 2017, U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 627,481, filed February 7, 2018, and U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 635,866, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0002] For many diseases, detection by a single method or pathway is difficult. In particular, for many major diseases with high morbidity and mortality, including cancer and heart disease, it is difficult to use a single detection device for early diagnosis with high sensitivity, high specificity, and high accuracy. Current disease diagnosis techniques usually detect and rely on a single macroscopic data and information, such as body temperature, blood pressure, body scan images. For example, to detect major diseases such as cancer, most of the diagnostic instruments commonly used today are based on imaging technology, such as X-ray, CT scan or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging te...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In summary, so far, most of the above-mentioned technologies are limited to a single sensing technology, using relatively simple, large-sized and functionally limited systems that lack sensitivity and specificity.

Moreover, existing techniques require multiple tests with multiple devices

These add expense and affect sensitivity and specificity
