New Era of Healthcare Diagnostics

The access to healthcare in India is starkly divided. The top few, mostly urban rich, have access to the most sophisticated healthcare facilities, comparable to the best in the world. In contrast, a vast majority, including the urban poor and largely rural population, lack basic healthcare needs. This healthcare divide, if not addressed immediately, can become a show-stopper for India's aspirations to become the world leader in attaining the sustainable development goals enshrined by the United Nations. It is truly disappointing to learn about the plight of rural healthcare diagnostics. People have minimum access to the pathology laboratory to get tested for basic biomarkers like Hemoglobin for Anemia, Blood Glucose for Diabetes, Albumin for Malnutrition, etc. The commute to the nearest pathology lab and the test fees will sum up to their daily wage. To meet their basic needs of healthcare, in particular, to democratize healthcare diagnostics facilities, after decade-long research at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, PathShodh Healthcare (an ISO 13485:2016) developed “anuPath- PoC Multi-Analyte Diagnostic Device”. Miniaturizing the whole pathology laboratory, we bring to your doorsteps “Lab on Palm”.
