Microneedles Pursuing Patient Monitoring and Diagnostics Markets

(Amherst, NH) – Microneedle technology is attaining commercial viability at a time when healthcare providers are faced with new challenges as they assess ways to incorporate companion diagnostics into treatment protocols and medical practice areas. Microneedle technology has the potential to address the growing trend toward point-of-care diagnostics and ambulatory patient monitoring by allowing the precise detection of biomarkers and analytes in fluids and tissues located in or near the skin. To succeed, developers must refine the techniques available and in development for sampling very small quantities and/or concentrations of analytes and biomarkers, and advance the design integration of microneedles into commercially viable diagnostic and monitoring platforms.

Evolution in diagnostics is changing the way a growing number of diseases are detected, monitored and measured. This trend is being fostered by the ability of clinicians to diagnose conditions more precisely – sometimes to the individual patient level. Intradermal analyte sampling and detection offer several advantages when compared to alternative technologies, including being minimally invasive and inducing minimal trauma.

A new research study, Microneedle Diagnostics, analyzes existing and emerging microneedle diagnostic and patient monitoring devices and development programs, profiles market participants, and assesses key demand and technology factors influencing the commercial market and shaping growth in this sector.
