DNA Medicine Institute Awarded Two Phase III SBIR NASA Contracts for Its rHEALTH Sensor

June 29, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In September
2010, the DNA Medicine Institute (DMI) successfully completed
reduced-gravity experiments on its rHEALTH sensor for the
NASA Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology
(FAST) program.  NASA recently followed that experiment with a
$190,000 contract to DMI to analyze data from the parabolic
flights
.

According to DMI’s Chief Scientific Officer Eugene Y. Chan, the
reduced gravity experiments “yielded [fantastic] data, which will
aid DMI in developing our rHEALTH sensor for use as a universal
biomedical laboratory in future space environments.”

Based on DMI’s successful work under a pair of Phase II Small
Business Innovation Research Program contracts designed to develop
nanoscale diagnostic technologies that facilitate whole health
analysis in a single drop of blood, DMI’s rHEALTH sensor has
been identified by NASA as a viable approach for performing blood
and urine analysis on the International Space Station. Rather than
relying on ground-based analysis, NASA is promoting the development
of the rHEALTH sensor to provide on-orbit analysis
capabilities.  The device will directly impact all biomedical
research on ISS, and it may also play a critical role in medical
and environmental monitoring.  

A second contract, Universal In-Flight Health Diagnostic
Technology — this one in the amount of $420,000 — was also
recently awarded to DMI, to perform clinical validation on white
blood cells
.  The goal of the contract will be to develop
the capabilities to validate the sensor’s white blood cell counts,
from fingerstick human blood samples, against a recognized medical
standard. This award will be funded by HHC (NASA Human Health and
Countermeasures) and administered by the NASA Glenn Research
Center.

The rHEALTH sensor also has significant dual-use
terrestrial applications, such as real-time health monitor
