Projectdetails

Introduction

iLoF is a digital health company pioneering a breakthrough AI platform to accelerate the future of personalized drug discovery and development.

Technology Overview

Through advanced AI and photonics, we collect massive amounts of data to build a digital library of biomarkers and biological profiles. This effort brings together world-class physicists, biologists, and data scientists to get life-saving personalized treatments to patients faster.

Data Collection Method

Our platform captures label-free patterns in biological liquid samples to generate specific patient or disease signatures. The iLoF device generates multiple highly focused, non-destructive laser beams that interrogate the biological sample to obtain a digital signal of its light pattern.

Flexibility and Agnosticism

That signal is used to detect modifications, providing a flexible and agnostic tool that is not limited to a single use or disease.

Current Focus

The current project focuses on developing an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical trial patient screening tool.
