​IIT Guwahati alumni-led startup develops portable device to spot chronic non-communicable diseases

Primary Healthtech Pvt. Ltd., an alumni-led start-up from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, has developed a point-of-care-testing (POCT) device called MobilabTM. The device can test 25 parameters in blood to diagnose early chronic diseases related to kidney, liver, heart, and pancreas malfunctions. Operated through an IoT-enabled Android app, MobilabTM can perform about 150 tests with a single battery charge. The device aims to provide frugal, portable, affordable, and accessible diagnostics, especially in remote areas. It is expected to help in the early screening of non-communicable diseases and improve disease management at an affordable cost for millions of people.
