Market Direction Analysis
Use by parents to monitor child’s stress levels and general well-being
Pros
- Can remove any communication barriers between parent and child
- Ability to measure Δ cortisol could be useful in evaluating changes over time
- Useful in the early detection of illness and prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Cons
- Continual monitoring may lead to more anxiety in parents
- Expensive technology
- Difficulties in establishing a baseline
- Knowing the information does not have a substantial effect; minimal chance for intervention
Used as a dignostic test in clinical settings
Pros
- Non-invasive procedure
- Instant results could facilitate faster diagnosis leading to earlier intervention plans
- Could help reduce extensive wait times in clinics or Emergency Room (ER)
- Little training required to operate, would reduce the need for highly trained personnel
Cons
- Concerns about biomarkers in saliva being as accurate as plasma samples
- Sensitivity and specificity must be very high for proper diagnosis
Use in monitoring treatment in clinical settings
Pros
- Non-invasive method Instant and ongoingsurveillance
- Could be used to evaluate metabolism of hormone
- Help to determine personalised treatment plan and dosage
- Could be useful in determining effectiveness of a treatment
Cons
- Concerns about biomarkers in saliva being as accurate as plasma samples
- Expensive to replace cartridges
Used in research studies to monitor levels of specific biomarker(s) in saliva
Pros
- Could replace disruptive method of salivary collection
- Could reveal critical information missed in current studies
- Easier to complete studies with young children and infants
Cons
- Would need different designs that don’t interrupt the studies and are less noticeable
- Would need different designs to use in studies with people of all ages
- Must be incredibly sensitive and specific for the desired biomarker
