Singularity University Startup Miroculus developing blood test to diagnose most diseases at molecular level

Imagine a simple blood test that can tell you, at the molecular level, the exact type of disease you have and its severity before presenting any symptoms. Miroculus brings an accurate, easy to use, non-invasive, decentralized, operator independent and affordable microRNA detection platform for molecular data gathering, analysis and interpretation.

Miroculus is building a near future where diseases are treated better, because they are constantly diagnosed and monitored at the molecular level.

1. Extract the total RNA from the patient’s blood sample and pipette it in a standard 96 well plate

Each well of this plate has our patented biochemistry that is looking for a specific microRNA. This biochemistry acts like a trap that closes only when the microRNA is present in the sample. Whenever a trap closes it will shine with green color.

2. Prepare and load the 96 well plate in our device

The reaction runs for approximately 60 minutes. Your smartphone processes the results, matches the wells that shine with specific microRNAs, and analyzes how much and how fast they shine. This tells us which microRNAs are present in the sample and whether they are over-regulated or down-regulated.

3. Login to visualize your patient’s results.

They optimize our methods regularly to provide real time data interpretation with high accuracy. Our data analysis platform lets you visualize trends and correlations over time, stratify patients, view results in real time and add other contextual information. If we want to better understand and decode diseases we must stop treating them as acute isolated episodes and consider and measure everything that affects our health on a permanent basis.
