Technology overview
Mapbiosensing applications
Set the scene
We built an overview of biosensing technologies and their applications, mapping the markets, patents, and key players in the space.
Case Study · Market Assessment
How a biosensor developer chose its diagnostic targets.
A leading biomedical company wanted to know which diagnostic uses fit its fluorescent biosensors. We mapped the technologies, markets and players and helped the client decide where to take its platform.
The Client
The client is a leading biomedical company developing fluorescent biosensors that could measure biomarkers to diagnose a disease state. It engaged Prescouter through a Research Support Service project to build an opportunity map of medical applications for its FRET-based biosensors.
The Challenge
Find the right uses.
Read the markets behind them.
Prescouter was asked to map the medical uses for the client’s biosensors, with a focus on diagnostics based on changes in ROS, NOS, RNS, oxygen, and pH.

Biosensing approaches
An overview of biosensing technologies and the applications they serve.
-
The market
Markets and IP
The markets and patents behind each application area.
-
The players
Key companies
The players already active in each application area.
Our Approach
Mapping applications, then going deeper where it counted.
Data matrix
34technologies profiled
Compare the options
A data matrix covered the business, financial, scientific, and regulatory details of 34 technologies, drawn from secondary research.
Focus report
3priority application areas
Go deeper
We then wrote an in-depth report on the areas of highest interest to the client.
The Outcome
Three applications to build the business on.
Prescouter presented a report on the three most promising application areas for the client’s fluorescent biosensors. The client used these findings to decide on its application and market strategy.
-
Wound healing
Monitoring wound healing
One of the three most promising uses identified for the client’s biosensors.
-
Infection
Treating wound-site infections
A second priority area identified in the report.
-
Vascular
Peripheral arterial disease
A third priority area for the client’s application and market strategy.
A sensing platform can measure many things. Choosing the few applications with real market pull is what turns it into a product.
