Hilab – A portable laboratory that revolutionizes medical diagnostics

In the future, thanks to Hilab, laboratory tests can be performed quickly, accurately and inexpensively.

Hilab is a portable laboratory concept which aims to revolutionize medical diagnostic tests. It is able to deliver results anywhere in the world very quickly. Hilab allows patients to do their own exams by simply accessing the internet. All it takes is a drop of blood, which is kept in a capsule and inserted into a scanner. These data are then transmitted to a centralized laboratory where health professionals, doctors and researchers analyze them and provide the results in just 5 to 10 minutes. This concept project wants to humanize medicine by making it accessible to all.

Thanks to this technology, it is therefore possible to obtain faster and less expensive results compared to traditional laboratories; 40% of the costs are generally dedicated to logistics, such as transporting samples from a collection point to another laboratory for additional testing. Hilab com Ricardo Silva offers better solutions to address the problem of physical laboratories whose capacity is generally limited. This method can gradually reduce the price of medical tests.

Equipment and capsules can be distributed in health centers and medical centers to perform a wide range of tests; such as HIV, dengue, Zika virus, pregnancy tests, heart markers and chikungunya. A quick result can help with early treatment of the disease; and therefore offers a better cure rate.

Data can be centralized in a cloud service, which can be used (for example) to identify the occurrence of a dengue epidemic. When Hilab identifies a positive dengue sample and a second sample appears in the same region, it may indicate that that region is affected by an epidemic.
