In our country, over 90 crore citizens lack access to primary diagnostic facilities, mainly because only 25,000 out of 1,00,000 labs in India are situated in rural areas. Consequently, individuals are compelled to make multiple trips to nearby towns for tests, incurring travel expenses and losing daily wages, rendering these essential services unaffordable.

Addressing this pressing issue, there's an urgent need to establish diagnostic centers within villages. Our approach involves collaborating with general practitioners, local entrepreneurs, and health workers, equipping them with our innovative medical device capable of conducting 51 tests. These tests range from vital checks and common blood tests to specialized assessments like 12-lead ECG, Lipid Profile, HbA1C, infectious disease markers, and health tracking parameters. Notably, our device provides near-instant results (with a minimum test time of 5 seconds and a maximum of 20 minutes) and facilitates report sharing via WhatsApp or printing.

This model not only delivers high social impact by providing access to crucial diagnostic facilities but also generates employment opportunities and significantly enhances the health and well-being of citizens in these underserved areas.
