One such investment is Unima, a transformative biotechnology firm.
Effective and on-time diagnostics remain a hurdle to disease prevention, treatment, and death prevention. The contributing factor mainly falls on high cost and lack of access to the equipment rather than skills and knowledge. Unima developed low-cost diagnostic and disease surveillance tools to serve underserved communities.
The Unima flagship $1 blood test device encompasses a paper diagnostic test. The medical practitioner puts a drop of blood from the patient, snaps a photo of the device, and uses the Unima proprietary application to process the results in less than 15 minutes. The data and analytics are stored and accessed in real-time to aid decision-makers in developing strategies to curb any detected disease spread.
