Bringing fast, affordable, decentralized screening to malaria-endemic regions
What we do
Every year, malaria affects hundreds of millions of people and kills over half a million, mostly children.
Current diagnostic methods are time-consuming, require a blood draw, and have a supply chain reliant on thermally unstable reagents.
We are creating a reusable, noninvasive malaria diagnostic device.

Advantages
No blood sample required
Zero incremental cost per test
Consumable-free
No reliance on thermally unstable reagents
No expiry date
