Problem
Many quantitative diagnostic assays rely on proprietary readers or laboratory instruments, limiting their deployment at the point‑of‑care or in home settings. Variations in lighting, device cameras, and user technique cause inconsistent results, making it difficult to scale assays across markets without building dedicated hardware for each test.
Solution
HueDx offers an infrastructure‑free platform that uses a standard smartphone camera as the reader and AI‑driven software to standardize and quantify optical signals. A patented physical reference (HueCard) provides a consistent lighting baseline, while HueTools software applies AI calibration to correct for device and environmental variations, delivering lab‑grade quantitative results without specialized hardware. HueLab then enables rapid, reader‑free launch of validated assays at scale, supporting near‑patient and direct‑to‑consumer distribution across medical, veterinary, agricultural, and consumer health applications. The platform accelerates assay development, reduces cost, and decouples diagnostic performance from hardware constraints.
Target Audience
Primary customers are diagnostic developers and biotech companies seeking to bring quantitative assays to market quickly, as well as healthcare providers, veterinary clinics, and consumer health brands that need scalable, hardware‑free testing solutions.
