PHILADELPHIA, PA — HueDx, Inc. has unveiled groundbreaking research showing the effectiveness of its HueTools and HueLab, a smartphone-enabled, paper-based diagnostic platform. This advancement addresses long-standing challenges in achieving accurate colorimetric diagnostics at the point-of-care, without needing extra hardware.
Point-of-care diagnostics are essential in public health, offering fast, on-site testing that can lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment. This is particularly beneficial in remote or underserved areas with limited laboratory access. By supporting immediate clinical decisions, these diagnostics can ease the burden on healthcare systems and improve patient outcomes. Integrating smartphone technology enhances these capabilities by turning qualitative tests into quantitative data, making diagnostics available to all providers, including at-home users, with precise results.
Study Highlights:
-
Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: The HueDx color correction system restores images to nearly indistinguishable differences, regardless of lighting conditions. Without this color correction, the variation in precision testing doubled. Key metrics such as the limits of blank, detection, and quantitation saw significant enhancements with the HueDx process.
-
Practical Applications: The research demonstrated the HueDx system’s proficiency in calibrating and quantifying a paper-based total protein assay, showcasing its potential for diverse medical environments’ point-of-care testing.
Dr. Nidhi Menon, HueDx’s Head of R&D, remarked, “The HueDx color correction system represents a major leap forward in diagnostic technology, allowing for accurate and reliable testing in real-world settings. We’re dedicated to enhancing health outcomes with innovative solutions, and our work truly reflects that commitment, setting the stage for the future of smartphone-enabled diagnostics.”
This study positions HueDx at the forefront of developing accessible and accurate diagnostic tools, marking significant progress in revolutionizing point-of-care testing and prioritizing patient care.
