Re: Acceptance of Hope Foundation Scholarship

HOPE Scholar, *Josephine Dixon*, has completed her doctoral
thesis. Josephine developed and tested a novel sensor
technology aimed at non-invasive detection of key blood
analytes—glucose, creatinine, and lactic acid—critical
for managing diabetes, kidney disease, and septic shock. Her
research shows that while the sensor (SAv2) offers promising
insights into light-tissue interactions and analyte
detection, current limitations in signal quality and
sensitivity mean it’s not yet reliable for clinical use.
The work provides valuable direction for future innovation
in wearable health monitoring.
