Fepod enables healthcare professionals to measure the real blood concentration directly from a drop of blood at the point-of-care. The testing process is fast & simple and the result is available in a minute. The testing equipment consists of a standard mobile phone, an affordable & small device and mass-producible & disposable test strips.

The technology has been under research and constant development in Aalto University for years. Further testing, clinical trials and test strip development are ongoing.

This pocket size lab will open a lot of new possibilities for healthcare. The first focus areas are in:

  • Acute care: paracetamol, opioids and other pain medicine
  • Therapeutic monitoring: transplants, kidney and liver
  • Femtech: fertility and menopause
