有鑑於醫療照護器材市場隨人口高齡化下快速成長，如歐美地區和新興國家體外診斷產品的需求逐年增加，且目前歐美市場已從原本以治療和照護等為主的思維，逐漸轉變為以自我預防角度，發展歐美等先進國家的健康照護訴求重點，在於早期診斷與預測疾病的發生，以達到提早預警的預防效果。
在此趨勢下，診斷檢測技術是關鍵要素，運用高準確度、高鑑別度的技術，才能夠有助於在疾病或徵兆發生初期即能被檢測出，以期能夠達成早期檢測、確定可能病因，而提出適切的預防策略的目的。
澳商Digital Diagnostics,
Pty.為擁有創新電子生物檢測技術的醫療檢測產品研發公司，其於微電子與生化的突破提供無比的正確性和敏感度，並加速檢測過程以加惠患者。該公司目前研發兩項平台技術，一為手持生物感應儀器
FibriLyzer™，該產品應用“clot-on-chip”
技術提供高敏感度，可快速檢驗血液中溶解血纖維蛋白的變化；二為個人電子奈米標記之Di-Counter™。
本組僅訂於101年2月14日(星期二)下午2:00~4:30協助該公司召開投資說明會，Digital
Diagnostics,
Pty.目前正積極規劃來台設立新公司，並與國內相關醫材公司技術合作，冀能利用此次來台的投資招商說明會尋找有志一同的合作夥伴及資金挹注，本說明會將由該公司總裁Dr.
Krassen Dimitrov親自介紹該公司的服務、產品、技術、公司營運計畫與未來展望，歡迎各位先進共襄盛舉並蒞臨指導！
該公司之英文簡介內容如下:
Digital Diagnostics, Pty. :
Digital Diagnostics, Pty. is developing products for
medical diagnostics, based on a new technology for
electronic biodetection. This breakthrough at the
boundary of microelectronics and biochemistry
enables near-patient testing with unparalleled
accuracy and sensitivity, to speed the diagnostic
process and deliver better patient outcomes.
Market Opportunity: Near-patient or
point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is being driven out
of increased demand for faster access to analytical
information than can be provided by a central
laboratory.
For 2009 global POC testing revenue was estimated at
US$15.5B, dominated by glucose testing and home
pregnancy testing. While central laboratory testing
grows at ~2% p.a., the POC market is growing at ~11%
p.a. This has made the attractiveness of POC market
to be well-understood and accepted by the investor
community. Nevertheless, POC penetration is
restrained by the requirement for comparable
analytical performance to central laboratory
procedures, which creates a unique opportunity for
innovative technologies.
Products: Digital Diagnostics is developing
two product platforms based on its novel technology:
FibriLyzer™ is a portable biosensor device for rapid
assessment of fibrinolytic activity in blood. It
employs proprietary “clot-on-chip” sensors, which
allow highly sensitive electronic measurement of
fibrinolysis.
Di-Counter™ is an electronic counter for individual
molecules, which are tagged with proprietary nanolabels.
Market Targets: Our products address diverse
markets segments throughout the healthcare system.
Personalized Medicine: dosage personalization and
therapeutic range maintenance of pharmaceuticals.
Pre-hospital emergency care, ERs, and ICUs: rapid
diagnosis of thrombotic events; acute cardiovascular
episodes, sepsis progression monitoring.
Operating Rooms, Outpatient Surgery Centers:
fibrinolysis control in bleeding.
General Practices: routine diagnostics in
physician’s offices of common disorders such as
hypothyroidism.
Global Health: rapid, sensitive, and accurate
diagnostics and surveillance of infectious disease.
Competitive Advantage: To compete in the fast
growing POC market Digital Diagnostics will rely on
the unique advantages of its technology. Digital
quantification of individual molecules has been
recognized as the “gold standard” in accuracy and
sensitivity. While several companies pursue the
development of POC diagnostics devices, there is no
other company in the world developing
single-molecule based digital approach. This
represents a major competitive differentiator for
Digital Diagnostics, giving prospective investors
unique opportunity in the POC market.
Principal: Dr. Krassen Dimitrov Founder, CEO
Dr. Dimitrov is a pioneer of single-molecule
labelling and detection. He is the Founder of
NanoString Technologies Inc., which he started to
commercialize his technology for highly multiplexed
single-molecule detection. NanoString has raised
over $67 mln., sells Dr. Dimitrov’s system to
premier research labs, and has a breast cancer
prognostic test currently in clinical trials. As
Group Leader at the Australian Institute for
Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Dr. Dimitrov
developed the Digital Diagnostics platform for
electronic detection.
