Check with confidence. Protect with certainty.
FakeMedSensor is a portable, real-time detection device that verifies medicines, supplements, and health products – helping you detect falsified and substandard items before they do harm.
The Team Behind FakeMedSensor
FakeMedSensor is a novel portable detection device. Designed by Professor Bhavik Patel and Dr Ricoveer Shergill at the University of Brighton.
“Building on our ground-breaking research, we have developed a novel and innovative detection device to rapidly identify fake medications, health supplements and agricultural products using advanced sensing technologies”.
Substandard and Falsified Products are a Growing Threat
1 in 10 medicines in low- and middle-income countries are falsified and substandard.
1 million deaths annually are linked to poor-quality medicines.
$1–2 billion is lost in the veterinary sector each year.
Agriculture and food chains are exposed to rising falsified and substandard products.
Global supply chains are complex – and current testing methods are too slow and expensive to keep up.
