SENSICHIPS

Sensichips develops microsensors for health and safety. Humans coordinate multiple senses for optimal recognition, and so should electronics systems. Sensichips brings together a unique combination of expertise in materials science, analytical chemistry, and precision analog microelectronics to engage in the development of a next-generation microsensors platform. Our miniature sensors will include diverse sensor types, signal conditioning, acquisition electronics and synergistic coordination ... to improve recognition, in a single microchip. Sensichips' technology achieves superior chemical recognition by combining high sensitivity with high selectivity with the incorporation of new, rugged synthetic receptor materials. The technology will be packaged into elementary sensors to microchip arrays. The global chemical sensor market is estimated to be $18B by 2016 (Global Industry Analysts, Inc.) with a CGAR of 8%. In this market, the largest opportunity for Sensichips is in personal devices for non-invasive health diagnostics and remote healthcare. The technology will allow detection of a variety of toxic, flammable, hazard gases and substances, volatile compounds to explosives.More
