Smart health
in your hands
We are on a mission to prevent millions of premature deaths by identifying those at highest risk of Cardio, Metabolic and Renal (CMR) diseases.
Currently most people at high risk of disease do not think they are. Even those that take steps to see a Doctor are often turned away due to resource limitations. Without concrete results and guidance, they may be unable to take the necessary steps to improve their long-term health or delay/prevent disease.
Access issues have become even more pronounced as health inequalities have widened. In response, we pondered the question: How can we make it easier for patients to undergo blood tests and facilitate screening?
Our answer was to leverage the ubiquity and image analysis capabilities of smartphones. We designed an accessible test that harnesses the phone’s image analysis capabilities and creates a unique offering combined with cloud computing.
