Desired Platform Feature |
Necessary for Ubiquitous Biosensing |
Standardized |
Universal interface capable of operation across platforms |
Open and Programmable |
Necessary for graphical user interface and software application to be rapidly modifiable |
SWAP-C |
For disruptive technologies, platforms must meet economic demands, including size, weight, power, and cost |
Other Standard Capabilities to Leverage |
Integrated archival data storage (GPS, time, date, readout, images, etc.) available for after-action processing |
Networked |
Data transmitted and recorded for further analysis and processing |
Easy to Use |
Operation and readout on platform must be simple for broad acceptance |
Multiplexed Analysis |
Extendable to include biothreat sensing, POC diagnostics, small molecule (cocaine, TNT, etc.), and nuclear materials |
