Captihue is developing the world’s first truly affordable at-home PCR-style tests for infectious diseases.
Solutions For Your Home
Captihue will empower you to make informed decisions about your health from the comfort of your own home. Our simple, accurate, affordable, and user-friendly molecular tests will reliably detect pathogens at the earliest stages of infection. With results available in under 30 minutes, our tests will provide reliable diagnoses when and where you need them, and help you to make the best healthcare decisions for you and your family.
Solutions For Clinics
Captihue’s molecular point-of-care solution will rapidly provide clinics with actionable diagnostic results. Our reusable instruments will be over 100x less expensive than those of competitors while still providing PCR-level accuracy for a wide range of infectious diseases. With Captihue’s novel technology, doctors and patients will benefit from best-in-class diagnostic testing while avoiding traditional trade-offs between time, cost, and accuracy.
Solutions For The World
In 2006, the World Health Organization described the ideal point-of-care test as meeting the ASSURED criteria – Affordable, Sensitive, Specific, User-friendly, Rapid and Robust, Equipment-free, and Deliverable.
Captihue’s technology will come closer to meeting these criteria than any other available test. Though our platform will not be strictly “Equipment-free,” it will be “Equipment-lite” with a portable, reusable instrument that can be easily deployed to resource-limited settings. By providing molecular tests at an unprecedented low cost, Captihue will bring effective diagnostic solutions to patients everywhere.
