Overview

DiagMetrics is an innovative diagnostics company developing a proprietary Mask-Based Diagnostic (MBD™) platform that collects exhaled breath condensate (EBC) for non-invasive testing. With a strong intellectual property portfolio including multiple issued and pending patents, the company is initially targeting rapid screening for tuberculosis and respiratory viruses (SARS/Flu/RSV) using lateral flow assays and advanced biosensors. Backed by NIH RADx funding and a partnership with MilliporeSigma, DiagMetrics aims to democratize diagnostics by making testing as simple as breathing, with applications extending to chronic disease monitoring and oncology.

Technology Platform

Patented Mask-Based Diagnostic (MBD™) platform for non-invasive collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC). The technology is adaptable to multiple detection formats, from low-cost lateral flow assays to multiplexed semiconductor biosensors, enabling testing for a wide range of respiratory and systemic biomarkers.

Opportunities

The massive, global need for simple, non-invasive TB screening in high-burden, resource-limited settings represents a clear first-market opportunity.
The platform's flexibility allows for rapid expansion into multiplex respiratory virus testing and, longer-term, into large markets like oncology screening and chronic disease monitoring, where frequent, non-invasive monitoring is highly desirable.

Risk Factors

Major risks include the unproven clinical validation of EBC for diagnostic use beyond research, the complex and uncertain regulatory pathway for a novel sample collection device, and significant competition from established diagnostic methods.
The company is also pre-revenue and will require substantial additional capital to reach commercialization.

Competitive Landscape

DiagMetrics operates in the emerging breath diagnostics space, competing with companies developing breathalyzer-style devices for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis. Its unique differentiator is the mask-based collection of EBC (liquid), rather than gas, which may allow access to a different set of biomarkers. It faces intense competition from entrenched players using sputum, blood, and nasal swab samples for respiratory disease diagnosis.
