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 to many industry sectors. Our initial attention is directed at agricultural markets to protect food sources and stored food products. Healthcare is another major industry of focus and a pinnacle goal for Global PBS™ in support of reducing human suffering. Markets 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. We apply the best R&D practices to prototyping PBS pest detection devices for our customers. Providing polymodal detection networks and reporting detection of each specific pest targets is the core competency at Global PBS.
Here's the Difference
All PBS networks (worldwide) report target acquisition data to the Global Learning System (GLS) component of our PBS system for validation and automated reporting. Target pest data is archived along with detection site environmental conditions to be used as benchmarks for future pest detection queries.
Our Services
Commercial Detection of Harmful Pests
Commercial application of polymodal pest detection can be applied to many markets around the world. The common thread is that ‘early detection and reporting’ benefits all. Our ultimate passion is reduction of human suffering . Therefore, R&D for Healthcare markets will occupy a continuous and permanent parallel track with all other development.
Enhancing Existing Systems
PBS systems offer proprietary 'early warning and reporting’ technology and can immediately disperse the preferred pest treatment for the target pest. Existing systems used by pest management professionals (PMP) and others can exploit the benefits of PBS technology through strategic partnerships; enhancing operational capabilities to 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 will become a key asset in support of 1st Responders for imminent threats and potential pandemics.
We plan to provide forecasting and modeling reports of pest concentrations and movements to global organizations and interested agencies.
