BioWarn's SmartSense system was created for health care professionals, researchers, scientists, pharmaceutical manufacturers, government agencies, first-responders and others to address the emerging threats of drug-resistant infectious diseases and public health risks from pandemic flu or acts of bioterrorism, such as the anthrax attacks through the U.S. postal system.

The SmartSense system has several advantages over current technologies. It is substantially less susceptible to false-positive and false-negative results than conventional diagnostics. Using extremely small samples, the system does not require lab equipment, a lab technician, or special procedures. A SmartSense device makes remote monitoring possible from anywhere a network reaches because it has on-board power and integrated network communications.


Because a fully developed SmartSense device will carry all core functionality on a single microelectronic chip, it will benefit from the scale economies of semiconductor manufacturing. With this affordability the SmartSense system brings advanced pathogen detection into the reach of those who need it the most, such as healthcare, biodefense, and first-responder organizations.
