Expert Series: Understanding the potential of a “CPK Meter”
June 18 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
IVDS is a biotech company developing a CPK meter called, CPK Now. This small, handheld device will allow patients to check their creatine kinase (CK) level quickly from a fingerstick sample, so they and their care team can react sooner and monitor their care more effectively. This presentation will discuss the science behind the technology, how this meter could be used, where the research/development currently stands, and what the pipeline could look like.
