mu-sure

mu-sure is the World's first device fulfilling the WHO's ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end-users) criterion while giving quantitative results. The usage is as simple as adding a drop of blood and pressing a button to initiate the test. After 10-15 minutes, a thermometer type reading appears on the chip, which can be easily read by the user or otherwise assessed with the help of a smartphone (cloud-based assessment of test data). All this is done without using any electronic instrumentation.
