SENTINEL aims at developing a minimally invasive and biocompatible implantable biosensor to be used in the early tumor surveillance in post-operative prostate cancer patients.

Placed under the user’s skin, the sensor allows optical readout of the patient’s disease state using a portable probe, which acquired signals are then analysed using machine learning algorithms to infer the disease status.

 

Opening a new avenue for nanotechnology integration of monitoring devices in healthcare.

Sentinel can significantly contribute to improve early disease diagnosis and treatment of patients.
