Aiming to connect researchers and stakeholders from high-income and low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to exchange ideas and challenges for point-of-care diagnostics of maternal and neonatal infection.

The project will develop a novel portable medical device to monitor the most appropriate biomarkers in a decentralized way that uses electronics, optics, electrochemistry, and microfluidics. This new medical device is cost-efficient and will play a crucial role in managing chronic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

This project's focus is to detect chemicals and contaminants by using paper-based analysis units (PADs). A cost-effective and user-friendly method that allows the public to collect environmental real-time data on-site without additional equipment. This is an improvement of the current analytical systems that use bulky instrumentation in laboratories.

Water pollution from industry, agriculture and urban settings is a major global pressure on human and ecological health. Effective monitoring of water quality is vital to safeguard our water supply and managing the health of our aquatic ecosystems.

The UPSIDEHYB project centers on the development of sustainable solutions for the food industry's leftover materials.
