Heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular conditions require fast and accurate diagnosis , yet many advanced DNA‑based tests still rely on complex laboratory procedures that are slow, resource‑intensive, and inaccessible outside specialised facilities. The MIMIC platform solves this problem by enabling automated extraction of circulating cell‑free DNA from very small blood samples , using a compact microfluidic device suitable for point‑of‑care settings . By simplifying
