Description / Scope of the Technical Need.
We are looking for easy to use, accessible, reliable & actionable diagnostic solutions that enhance early detection and condition awareness. Our focus is on delivering to our consumers user-friendly, reliable, easily accessible and actionable diagnostic solutions in the following areas:
- Liver health – supporting condition awareness for NAFLD/MAFLD
- Allergy – aiding in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment
- Gut health – including actionable microbiome analysis
Our goal is to ensure that users can understand the why and how, feel motivated to take action, and clearly observe the impact of the actions taken.
Background.
We believe healthtech can unlock the power of self-care by enabling condition awareness and informed decision-making. Our goal is to empower consumers with accurate, accessible, and actionable information—especially for silent diseases and complex conditions where symptoms are hard to trace back to their root causes.
This approach supports:
- Prevention & Early Intervention – Giving consumers and healthcare providers the tools to reduce risks and manage conditions before they become severe.
- Faster, More Effective and More Personalized Treatment – Delivering quicker, more effective, and tailored treatment options that improve outcomes.
- Proven Results – Offering solutions backed by real-world data and measurable impact.
Key Success Criteria.
Must-have Requirements.
- At-home and point-of-care diagnostics.
- Non-invasive tests or minimally invasive.
- Instant diagnostics with real-time results.
- High sensitivity to key biomarkers for accurate detection of health conditions and/or monitoring of progress and treatment response.
- Strong clinical and scientific evidence supporting the Diagnostic device.
- Compliance with medical device regulations and quality standards.
- Proprietary technology or intellectual property.
Preferred Requirements.
- At or near industrialization stage, with validated regulatory and quality compliance.
- Standalone diagnostic capability, providing comprehensive results that minimize the need for follow-up with a doctor.
- Validated product-market fit.
- Low cost for high accessibility, with a design optimized for low cost of goods (COGS) to ensure competitive pricing.
- Solutions integrated into existing consumer platforms or devices (e.g. smartphones, wearables) are preferred over standalone, single-purpose tools.
Approaches not of interest.
- Invasive tests.
- Standard Stool tests.
- Deferred analysis (at-home or point-of-care sampling with remote lab processing).
- Rx products.
Target Group.
These healthtech solutions can serve diverse audiences/users including:
- consumer-facing (children and adults), and
