Hylid Diagnostics is developing a laboratory-equivalent home blood-testing system. Founded by veterans of the diagnostics industry, its guiding mission is to give patients with kidney disease or chronic heart failure the ability to measure critical blood markers using a fingerstick blood sample, similar to a glucose meter for diabetes. The Hylid system will allow patients to precisely dose medications without lab visits and learn how daily activities affect their levels. This will help keep patients healthy and out of hospital by avoiding life-threatening complications such as cardiac arrhythmia or arrest.
