Topic Discussed : Novel Technologies Driving Infectious Disease Management

Speaker: Deepak Jayakumar

Key Takeaways:

Urgent need of rapid and accurate detection at the point of need is a prime driver of infection diagnosis. Frost & Sullivan’s research study explores some of the novel and emerging diagnostic technologies for infectious pathogen identification which includes: 

1. CRISPR-based paper diagnostic tests connected with a smartphone that can provide an accurate, rapid diagnosis with a minimum requirement of complex resources
2. Some of the most recent development in antibody-antigen based assay and colorimetric assays are enlisted like saliva-based rapid diagnosis, 5-minute sepsis detection tests, improved immunoassay and mobile-based diagnostics for bacterial and Urinary Tract infection
3. Upgraded portable, fast, and next-generation Polymerase chain reaction technologies like ultra-fast PCR, dry reagents, sample to direct pathogen detection, portable real-time systems, multiplexed and improved PCR technologies are described
4. Diagnostics coupled with multidisciplinary approaches like artificial intelligence and machine learning in microscopy, sequencing; bioinformatics platforms and databases for pathogen identification, drug resistance and susceptibility testing which assist physicians to promptly start relevant treatments. Also, a fusion of one or more technologies such as applications of sound waves to develop diagnostic biosensors, applications of magnetic resonance in PCR and other technologies like nano-pore technology, microfluidics are discussed
