Performing routine blood tests right from the comfort of your own home could soon be a reality, thanks to Avalun’s LabPad® mobile point-of-care device. All it takes is a drop of blood to get results like blood coagulation speed, blood sugar,

or cholesterol in just minutes. The different types of tests can all be performed on the same reader; users just need to insert the appropriate disposable cartridge for the type of test prescribed by their healthcare provider.

The demonstrator is the actual apparatus that is currently being commercialized by the start-up company Avalun.
