New paper-based sensor detects heart attack biomarkers in just 15 minutes | Researchers have designed a paper-based vertical flow assay (VFA) to detect heart attack biomarkers.


University of California, Los Angeles researchers have developed a low-cost paper-based sensor, which uses deep learning algorithms.

To address this, University of California, Los Angeles researchers have developed a low-cost paper-based sensor to detect a biomarker for heart attacks. “We are excited to introduce this low-cost, portable solution that bridges the gap between central laboratory diagnostics and point-of-care testing,” said Aydogan Ozcan, the senior author of the study. “The ability to rapidly detect and quantify troponin levels in diverse settings could enable faster, more effective treatment of heart attack patients, particularly during the critical prehospital phase of care,” Han added in the press release.
