In this episode of Bio Break, StarFish Medical experts Joris and Nick dive into the transformative concept of Continuous Analyte Monitoring (CxM) and its growing role in wearable medical devices. They discuss the value of tracking metabolic markers over time, as opposed to relying on static time-point measurements, and how this approach enhances precision in both diagnostics and treatment.
-
In this episode of Bio Break, StarFish Medical experts Joris and Nick tackle an intriguing question: can alternative bodily fluids like sweat, saliva, or urine offer viable alternatives to blood sampling for medical diagnostics? While blood remains the gold standard for clinical testing, advancements in non-invasive sampling methods are opening new possibilities, particularly in wearable devices and at-home diagnostics.
