About Nutromics
Nutromics exists to save millions of lives through Continuous Diagnostic Monitoring
Clinicians today are hampered by insufficient and delayed lab diagnostics. Typically, a clinician orders a test for a patient, a blood draw is taken, the sample is then sent to the lab where it’s processed, and finally, the clinician receives a single data point of where the patient was hours prior. This standard of care is not equipped to provide trend information, which is critical in the ICU for fast-moving disease states and dynamic patient conditions. The result is poor patient outcomes and billions in additional healthcare costs running a highly inefficient system. Our diagnostic platform is like a lab-on-a-patch. It is a breakthrough technology combining multiple DNA-based sensors with minimally invasive microneedles. Our powerful technology can track multiple crucial targets continuously and in real-time, giving clinicians critical, personalized insights.
The Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)
Nutromics Diagnostics HREC's mission is to provide Australian researchers with diagnostic-specific expertise and focus
The ND-HREC functions to: ​ 1. Provide independent oversight of non-interventional diagnostic research in humans, and clinical studies that support the development of diagnostic tools or methods. ​​ 2. Provide competent, timely review and monitoring of human research in respect of their ethical and scientific acceptability for as long as research is active; ​​ 3. Determine the compliance of a human research with the National Statement and grant, withhold or withdraw ethical approval.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Why should I volunteer for a clinical trial?Volunteers are the heroes of clinical trials. They help researchers understand how a technology or treatment works in the human body. This is the next critical step (after lab bench and animal testing) to develop a safe technology or treatment that could eventually benefit others.
-
Do I get paid for participating in a clinical trial?Yes, all healthy volunteers are paid for participating in a clinical trial. The amount you receive depends on the trial you are enrolled in, duration of the trial etc. The payment, approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), is intended to cover time, travel, and parking expenses, but it’s not meant to replace lost earnings or any other financial losses due to participation. If you are unable to complete the trial, you’ll receive partial payment based on the number of visits you’ve attended.
-
Can I participate in trials while working or studying?Yes, you can participate in trials while working or studying. There may be portions of the trial that require you to be in-house at the clinic. During this time you can bring your laptop, books, or any other materials along. We have free WiFi on site that you can access.
-
Are clinical trials safe?All technologies undergo extensive testing on lab bench and animal models before being tested in a clinical trial. Any medications dosed are approved by the TGA and are not experimental in nature. Every trial is approved by an independent Ethics Committee and registered on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry. Prior to participation all volunteers will undergo a comprehensive medical screening to ensure that they meet the requirements of the trial. This will help minimise potential risks. During the study we have medical professionals on-site who will closely monitor all participants. They will prioritise your care and safety and are always available for assistance. While every effort is being made to eliminate risks, there are some potential risks to participating in a clinical trial. This includes unforeseen side effects or reactions that vary from person to person and cannot be anticipated.
-
I volunteered for a trial but changed my mind. Can I withdraw consent?Yes, you can withdraw consent from the trial at any time. If you decide to withdraw from the study, please notify a member of the study team before you withdraw. This notice will allow that person or the study team to discuss any health risks or special requirements linked to withdrawing.
-
Can I participate with my friends or family?Yes! You can refer your friends or family for a trial. If they are eligible, you will receive a referral bonus after they complete their first trial with us.
-
Do I have to be an Australian Citizen to participate?No, you do not need to be an Australian Citizen or have the right to work in Australia to volunteer for a clinical trial. In order to participate we will need some photo ID from you (like a passport or drivers license). Some trials will also need you to be able to communicate in English. Whether you're in Australia for a few months or a few years, you can volunteer to participate in our trials and get paid for doing so.
