A Field Ready Blood Test For The Precise Measurement Of Oxidative Stress
Oxidative Stress occurs when the body’s antioxidant defences are overwhelmed by an excess of toxic oxidants. Oxidative stress is implicated in over 70 health conditions, with levels often reflective of a person’s health condition and physical performance capability.
The OxiDx Test
Backed by over 15 peer-reviewed publications, OxiDx uses patented technology to detect subtle changes in protein structure. These changes can be detected via a simple fingerprick blood sample or small blood draw. The OxiDx platform technology for systemic oxidative stress is targeted for use as an athletic monitoring tool in both human and equine (horse) industries.
Equine Athletes
85% of Thoroughbreds suffer at least one injury during their 2 or 3-year-old racing seasons
- Competitive advantage from improved race-preparedness
- Injury management and improved welfare
- Inform veterinary investigations
Human Athletes
Up to 55% of all sports injuries are muscle injuries, with an annual average cost of $8M USD for professional teams
- Competitive advantage from improved athletic preparedness
- Injury management and rehabilitation
- Individualise athlete training loads
