Democratizing access to healthcare through localised lab testing
Headquartered in Brazil, Hilab offers a remote diagnostic tool to make healthcare accessible everywhere. Their handheld devices, powered by AI and IoT, conduct quick tests that account for 85% of the most commonly administered tests. They bring the resources of the lab to distant, untouched places where others don't venture.
To date, Hilab has given over 6 million tests to 1.8 million Brazilians. Now, they're setting their sights abroad. In 2021, they introduced the world's smallest CBC tester, the Hilab Lens. The Lens uses fingerstick blood collection to provide diagnostic results from anywhere in just 30 minutes. In 2022, the Lens company received the "Gold" award from the iF DESIGN Awards—widely considered to be the world's most influential design award.
