The technology has been under research and constant development in Aalto University for years. Further testing, clinical trials and test strip development are ongoing.

This pocket size lab will open a lot of new possibilities for healthcare. The first focus areas are in:

  • Acute care: paracetamol, opioids and other pain medicine
  • Therapeutic monitoring: transplants, kidney and liver
  • Femtech: fertility and menopause
