Problem
Nearly half the world's population lacks access to adequate diagnostic tools, particularly in point-of-care settings. Delays in obtaining blood test results, especially in emergency situations and infectious disease control, can lead to increased mortality rates and inefficient resource allocation.
Solution
CRIAM offers a portable blood testing device that delivers rapid and reliable diagnostic results directly at the point of care. The device uses computer vision algorithms to analyze chemical reactions within blood samples in real-time, providing accurate results in approximately three minutes. Its multiplexing capabilities allow for different tests to be performed on the same device, making it suitable for diverse applications such as emergency care, infectious disease control, veterinary diagnostics, and nutritional assessments. The device's wireless connectivity facilitates efficient data sharing, while its portability and independence from electricity make it ideal for use in resource-limited settings.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers in emergency care settings, professionals involved in infectious disease control, veterinary practitioners, and nutritionists who require rapid and reliable point-of-care blood testing.
