ARPA-H Launches Program to Develop Biosensors that Can Track Multiple Signals
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA‑H) has launched the Delphi program to develop modular biosensors that can monitor multiple physiological signals such as inflammation markers, hormones, and drug levels. The initiative relies on electronic "chiplet" technology, allowing developers to mix and match sensor components like building blocks. Funding for individual projects is expected to range from $30 million to $150 million, with a four‑and‑a‑half‑year timeline that aims for prototype delivery within two years. The effort aligns with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s push for widespread wearable health monitoring.
