Based out of Zurich, Bloom Diagnostics develop devices that help users to keep a track, maintain, and improve their health. Recently, the company launched its testing device Blood System, post-closing funding of 10 million Series B round back this May.<\/p>\n
The company is on a mission to receive and secure personal medical data in a fast, affordable, and understandable way. The Bloom System is designed specifically for patient use. The Bloom Test strips (pin-prick blood samples) are captured in a test strip and analysed in Bloom Lab. As per the company claims, it is maintenance-free by design and can be easily cleaned and updated when necessary.<\/p>\n
The Bloom App explains the meaning of test results in a personalised, detailed report with actionable information. When a user performs a measurement, Bloom Analytics calibrates the raw measurement data on production-based calibration curves to deliver maximum accuracy. It then connects the results with self-reported symptoms to generate the medical analysis, which the Bloom App presents to the user, fully anonymously.<\/p>\n
Its worth mentioning that Bloom Analytics is Bloom Diagnostics custom cloud solution developed over many years in close co-operation between medical experts, biotech specialists, cryptography enthusiasts, and production professionals.<\/p>\n
There is a need for a tertiary layer of diagnostic devices between individuals and the traditional healthcare system. This layer has seen its inception with products like the first LFA-based pregnancy tests in the 1970s, explains co-founder and Chief Product Officer Thomas Kupper. We think its overdue that this layer develops into something much more elaborate, helping individuals gain insights into their health in a wide range of situations. Combining those insights, globally, anonymized and in real time, will generate improvements that benefit the public.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dr. Angelica Kohlmann and Thomas Kupper founded Bloom Diagnostics with its headquarters in Zurich in Switzerland and offices in Vienna and New York.<\/p>\n
