the ‘miroculus’ is a 3D-printed microRNA detection and treatment analyzing device that aims to improve the procedures and process for diagnosis. the patented biochemistry technology recognizes and predicts cancer and metabolic illnesses, as well as medicine responses through an enzymatic approach. this process analyzes very small molecules that circulate freely in our blood as they are promising biomarkers.

the low-cost device uses data algorithms that the company have tested in california, germany and mexico. it is an easier, cheaper, smarter and more accessible method as it offers results in real time. the machine only needs one milliliter of blood to find the exact type of disease someone might have and also its severity. this may seem scary but it detects this before symptoms are presented which means diseases such as cancer, is caught early. ‘miroculus’ is developing clinical trials in a couple of countries before it can be used by national medical systems.
