Chronus Health Device
CBC and CMP in minutes, not days!
Chronus Health's portable device allows for real-time diagnosis at the point-of-care providing lab results in minutes, dramatically improving time to care and patient outcomes. Our initial launch for Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) accounts for 50% of all blood tests performed. We have cracked the code to the challenging problem of performing multiple blood tests on a low-cost portable platform. We achieved this by leveraging microfluidics, semiconductors, electrical engineering, material science, computational biology, and data science! Our technology does not require optics (for measurements), reagent bottles (for storage), and pumps (for moving liquids). The entire analysis happens on a disposable test strip where sample preparation, fluid movement, and sensors are embedded.
