Putting everyday healthcare in people’s hands. A hand-held, lightweight point-of-care diagnostic device that allows for the rapid detection of infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2 and performing preventative healthcare screening. Using electrochemical technology, O~pal digitises a sample on the lateral flow test cassette to deliver a reliable and tamperproof result in just 30 minutes at point-of-care. The device connects via Bluetooth to a smart device and operates through an Apple or Android application. The application records the data sent from the O~pal in real-time and the user has the ability to save the results on their personal App andshare with their healthcare professional if required.
