NeoDocs
NeoDocs is a Mumbai health-tech company that turns a smartphone into a diagnostic reader. Users dip a paper test card in a urine sample, scan it with the NeoDocs app, and get lab-referenced results in under a minute - covering kidney, metabolic and general wellness markers. Founded by three IIT Bombay alumni and backed by Y Combinator (S21) and Omidyar Network India, it sells test kits direct to consumers and works with thousands of doctors across India.
Healthy.io
Healthy.io turns the smartphone camera into a clinical-grade medical device for at-home diagnostics. Founded in Israel in 2013 by Yonatan Adiri, the company uses computer vision, AI and colorimetric analysis to let patients run lab-quality urine tests at home - for kidney disease, urinary tract infections and pregnancy - and gives clinicians AI-powered 3D wound measurement tools. Its flagship Minuteful Kidney test is the first smartphone-powered home test cleared by the FDA to measure the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and its products are used across US health plans and UK NHS trusts to close gaps in preventative care.
