ElectroCyt utilizes several novel microfluidic and electrical sensing technologies originally developed in the laboratory of Rashid Bashir, a professor of bioengineering at Illinois, and by Dr. Bobby Reddy, Jr., an Illinois' ECE alumnus and researcher in electrical point of care diagnostic devices. ElectroCyt's "first degree sensing," technology can detect and prevent a number of diseases and conditions well before debilitating symptoms present themselves.
