It started with a clinical need - to find an alternative for blood testing for prematurely born babies. For these babies, every single drop of blood is precious, but they have very high risks of severe health complications, hence the need for frequent testing.

We identified passive sweat as the perfect alternative. It contains many of the same molecules as blood. Using modern bioanalytical and data processing tools allows us to predict blood values based on sweat analysis.

Such a solution can provide a genuinely non-invasive health testing platform for which applications stretch beyond our initial focus. To make this technology accessible and help as many people as we can, we are building a startup. We are at the pre-seed stage and are open to talking with investors and collaborators from the health tech, medtech, and digital health sectors.
