Antenatal Disease Diagnosis and Reporting Instrument

Still In Development Last Update: January 11, 2013

Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases from CA is developing a low-cost rapid diagnostic test that will accurately diagnose and report anemia, HIV, syphilis, and malaria. The hand-held instrument will read and record test results as well as report the results in real time through automated wireless reports to health authorities. This data will allow for disease tracking in order to make decisions based on resource availability. As of now, the organization is working on multi-testing ability of the instrument as well as the reading of barcodes for management of pharmaceutical products. This technology came to our attention through Saving Lives at Birth Challenge, 2011.
