Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) represent one of the most abundant types of free radicals.
In physiological conditions ROS levels are regulated by a fine equilibrium namely RedOx balance.
When ROS production outperforms the physiological ability to counteract the deleterious effects of these reactive species a condition known as oxidative stress (OS) occurs.
Clinical research activities link OS to several chronic human diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, diabetes, premature aging and frailty.
The evaluation of the RedOx balance might improve the network of clinical parameters characterizing the patient’s well-being, as part of an growing widespread customization of medicine and with the aim of making increasingly targeted and patient-tailored choices.

To monitor the plasma RedOx status of subjects at higher risk to develop chronic diseases or with chronic diseases for which oxidative stress plays a crucial role.
The RedOx Check-up starts with the
analysis of the RedOx balance by
means of the d-ROMs FAST and PAT
tests, which can be both performed in a few minutes from capillary blood with the FRAS5 photometer.
The d-ROMs FAST and PAT tests
allow for the quantitative analysis of the RedOx status.
Normal reference values for healthy population are available.
The FRAS5 is a portable lab that can be used as bedside
point-of-care, facilitating the use in clinical practice with reduction of costs.
OB Manager is a web-based application that supports specialists and doctors in their patient clinical management.
OB Manager combines the results of the RedOx Test and of the RedOx Questionnaire, considering situations related to the RedOx balance, and it generates the RedOx Report with indications on how to intervene to mitigate oxidative stress, which underlies a potential risk to develop or exacerbate chronic diseases or unhealthy conditions.
The RedOx Report also provides advices on useful supplements (e.g.food supplements) or lifestyle and habit changes (physical activity, diet, smoking, etc…), and suggests/schedules the next check-up to better monitor the subject’s conditionalong time.
Such indications can aid doctors and specialists in their decision-making process, supporting them with indications on how to intervene in order to restore the proper RedOx status or to evaluate the effectiveness of an ongoing treatment.
The RedOx Check-up can be performed from time to time, following a longitudinal approach.
The comparison of different RedOx Check-up results performed at different time-points can provide doctors and specialists with a better picture of the effectiveness of a treatment, unveiling if the pursued strategy is actively bringing to the desired results or not.
In the latter case, the doctors and specialists have the chance to early intervene and properly adjust the treatment so as to increase its efficacy.
