Whether for those with chronic health conditions or those who are just curious, Verv Technologies’ home blood-testing device does more than check blood sugar, it aims to be a high-quality blood chemistry analyser to track everything from cholesterol to hormone levels.
A Sudbury-based medical biotechnology company working at the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI) is developing a home blood-testing kit that will enable people to monitor several health indicators with the results appearing on your smartphone.
The company, Verv Technologies, has created the Verv Vi — a device described as “a consumer-oriented, affordable, high-quality blood chemistry analyser with disposable tests for home use, that will help individuals measure a wide range of analytes (i.e. cholesterol, vitamin levels, hormones).”
