UbiHealth: Enabling ubiquitous healthcare
Our first product addresses HIV & Hepatitis testing, in a single battery-operated portable kit format, comprising:
– a base reader unit controlling the 30-minute test
– antibody strips for identifying current or past infections
– nucleic-acid test strips for RNA viral-load quantification.

– nucleic-acid test strips for RNA viral-load quantification.
This unique combination of rapid serology and viral-load testing will enable detection, identification and quantification of blood-borne viruses in clinics and at point-of-care. Identification of past and current infections is vital in triage of ill patients presenting, and will facilitate early intervention and therapy by clinicians dealing with these pervasive and debilitating illnesses in clinics and community settings.
In the emerging era of “test-and-treat” and “test-at-home” policies, UbiHealth will facilitate decentralisation of healthcare and enable many new benefits in point-of-care and in home telemedicine.
UbiHealth achieves this with a robust bead-based assay and CMOS semiconductor detector chip in each test strip. These eliminate the need for centrifuges, pipettes, refrigeration or specialist equipment
Immediate encrypted digital wireless upload of results will enable realtime epidemiological tracking. In the emerging era of “test-and-treat” and “test-at-home” policies, UbiHealth will facilitate decentralisation of healthcare and enable many new benefits, at point-of-care and in home telemedicine.
