Oxford Medi Stress
Oxford Medi-Stress (OMS) is a medi tech product that is sold into professional sports clubs such as Manchester United, Hull Rugbey League Club, McClareb F1 team and British Swimming to name a few.
It is a physical device with that, with a pin prick of blood from the athletes finger, the blood is mixed with a patented chemical mix of viruses. These viruses effectively “attack” the white blood cells in the blood sample – testing how the immune system of the players is reacting to the viruses that are putting the white blood cells under stress. The test tube is then inserted into our physical device and gives the team doctors a physical reading of the level of immune system strength.
Any spike or dip in the results immediately trigger any unforseen changes to the stress levels of the athletes body and adjustments can h blade well before any illness or injury takes place.
The science team have also recently finished testing on a new chemical mix for measuring white blood cell strength for prostate cancer patients in remission and is currently also creating a similar patented formula for lung cancer patients in remission. These formulas are designed to show any very stage earnings of such cancers flairing up again.
