With the majority of cases remaining undiagnosed and a significant risk of future pandemics, earlier and faster diagnosis is key to reducing the spread of emerging viral infections, enabling timely treatment and mitigating their burden.
Breath analyser (IVD MD) for non-invasive detection of multiple respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, RSV and influenza strains, in exhaled breath at the point of care
A powerful combination of specific antibody recognition and a highly sensitive measurement system. Provides unparalleled accuracy in identifying viral pathogens and detecting infections in their earliest stages.
Dashboard showing historical data and real-time results. Diagnosis and monitoring of patient responses to previous infections for more informed and personalised care decisions.
By combining the high accuracy and reliability of molecular diagnostics with the portability and rapid analysis capabilities of point-of-care solutions, we are making diagnostics faster, more accessible and scalable, significantly reducing the burden on healthcare systems.
