polymodal biological sensors
Our Primary Interest is R&D of Detection and Reporting Systems for Zoonotic Vectors
About Us
Why Global PBS?
We invented Polymodal Biological Sensor (PBS) technology to provide a more reliable method of detection for harmful pests and automated reporting to pest management professionals (PMP) and other appropriate parties.
The PBS detection method offers more accurate pest detection results and near real-time reporting. High-value assets such as food crops and stored food products will suffer much less economic loss when protected by a PBS sensor network. More importantly to humans is deploying PBS sensor networks to report zoonotic vectors (pests which carry diseases that can transfer to humans). These networks could also support global health programs such as the One Health Initiative (http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/about.php).
PBS systems can offer continuous electronic monitoring for many industry sectors. Initial interests are in agricultural markets. Healthcare represents a pinnacle goal for Global PBS™ in support of reducing human suffering. Markets can include hotels, university, military housing, cruise ships, transit quarters, hospitals and healthcare recovery facilities, to name a few. Forestry and turf grass are also potential beneficiaries of early detection and reporting of specific pests.
How We Help
We are a US-based collaboration of scientists and researchers in multiple disciplines applying the latest best method practices to developing PBS sensor networks. Deploying the best polymodal detection networks for each specific pest target is the core competency at Global PBS.
Here's the Difference
All PBS networks report target acquisition data to the Global Learning System (GLS) component of the PBS system. If the initial detection data is not validated for the target pest the data is archived along with environmental conditions to be used for future queries in support of forecasting and modelling pest concentrations and movements.
Our Services
Commercial Detection of Harmful Pests
PBS pest detection technology can be applied in many markets around the world. Early consideration will focus on agriculture. R&D of PBS technology for Healthcare markets will occupy a continuous and permanent parallel track with all other development.
Enhancing Existing Systems
PBS is a proprietary 'early warning' and reporting technology. Existing systems used by pest management professionals (PMP) and others can exploit the benefits of PBS technology through strategic partnerships. Enhancing operational capabilities will deliver better results to their customers.
Forecasting & Modeling
When humans are in danger the threat should be addressed as soon as possible. PBS networks can collect pest detection data from locations around the world in the normal course of business. Therefore we could become a key asset in support or 1st Responders for imminent threats or pandemics.
