The data generated from tests performed in the remotest areas will be uploaded over the net / cell phone to the cloud and will be available for data mining to determine what medical conditions are generally an issue in which part of the globe primarily due to demographic differences (invaluable data for the pharmaceutical/biotech companies) allowing the pharmaceutical/biotech companies to develop more personalized medicine catering to specific markets/geographies.

What did TiE 50 award do for us?
The TiE award has helped us get visibility in the USA. We’re a European-based company and have won multiple awards in Europe but not in the USA before. So it helped us be perceived as a serious player, also in the USA. With TiE 50 award, we can and will be expanding more aggressively in the US market in 2016.
