SystemOne Partners with BluSense Diagnostics

Both companies are recipients of the USAID Grand Challenge for Development Grant which supports solutions combatting Zika and future threats. SystemOne and BluSense will support each other's objectives to communicate disease outbreak data for Dengue and Zika across the world.

The project will integrate data from BluSense's BluBoxTM diagnostic device into Aspect®, SystemOne's data management platform. SystemOne is also developing an interface for BluSense customers to easily view and analyze disease-related data. This disease intelligence solution will be piloted with the BluBox Dengue assay in field studies in Malaysia and Brazil.

BluSense, based in Denmark, is developing a new way to test for the Dengue virus using a single drop of blood. In addition to the BluBoxTM and the Dengue Assay, the USAID Challenge Grant supports the company in developing an assay which can diagnose the presence of Zika infection. The collaboration with SystemOne supports a long-term goal to provide real-time diagnostic data to health professionals and first responders.

"We see a natural alignment with BluSense as they prepare to launch the BluBoxTM, along with the Dengue and Zika tests, in markets where SystemOne's disease intelligence networks already deliver real-time disease information," notes Chris Macek, CEO at SystemOne. "By collaborating on the upcoming studies in Southeast Asia and Latin America, both companies bring core competencies to enable rapid detection and response to pandemic-prone diseases in high-risk regions of the world."

"While our instrument generates critical data, we needed a partner to help us move, parse and channel the data to the right places to make the most difference," said Filippo Bosco, CEO, BluSense Diagnostics. "SystemOne, with its existing experience in dozens of countries, was the ideal partner to help us understand the best use cases for real-time information and for aggregated data, and how to make the data flow in the most effective and least costly manner."
