Thread Bioscience is a medical technology company that develops and manufactures solutions that bring data to healthcare professionals – where they need it – when they need it. Thread integrates technology from various scientific disciplines to develop devices that solve problems and promote efficient healthcare delivery. Thread has developed CultureStat, a Point Of Care rapid test to improve testing for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI’s), and SentiLiter measuring and monitoring system for patient fluid Intake and Output (I’s & O’s).
CultureStat combines spectrophotometry with computer science and biochemistry to indicate the absence or presence of log phase bacterial growth of organisms responsible for causing UTI. The test results are provided quickly and are reliable. The test is completely automated and does not require any special training or skills to perform. The results are displayed on the CultureStat Reader and can also be accessed via the CultureStat mobile app.
SentiLiter uses wireless sensor technology and a sophisticated, intuitive, feature rich mobile app to remotely monitor and measure patient fluid dynamics. It can be used anywhere the need exists to monitor the fluid intake and output of a patient in an inpatient or outpatient setting. SentiLiter allows nurses and physicians to monitor the patient’s fluid dynamics without having to be at the patient bedside. Different levels of notification and monitoring can be set for the same patient by nurses and physicians. The system is controlled through the SentiLiter mobile app.
At Thread Bioscience we share the same passion for microbiology and discovery as Antony van Leeuwenhoek, considered by many to be the founding father of microbiology. Are you curious about why we named the company Thread Bioscience? Read about Antony van Leeuwenhoek, and find out.
