Chromatech Diagnostics

Welcome, 2025! May the New Year bring you prosperity and endless joy.

Advancing Innovation: Leadership Meeting at Chromatech This week, Chromatech’s leadership team—Niloufar Daneshgar (COO), Sara Samimagham (CTO), and Saeideh Aminsafaei (CSO)—met eachother to discuss significant achievements and future plans for advancing medical diagnostic solutions. The meeting highlighted critical updates on Chromatech’s intelligent diagnostic devices, which leverage computer vision and image processing to deliver highly accurate blood factor analyses. The team remains committed to enhancing device efficiency while ensuring seamless data integration with mobile platforms, revolutionizing the experience of medical professionals and patients alike.

 There are many niche xPOCT devices on the market, but they are expensive, complicated to use, and do not provide the accurate function of this device. The key feature of our device is that it is easy to use. Not only is the data acquisition platform located on the exterior of the device, but also a user interface to control it. This enables you to see results instantly without having to interface with an external computer, even in a homecare setting or office. Take a look at how we can make your lives easier by providing fast and accurate xPOCT data that fit into any budget! #POCT #MedicalDiagnostics #HealthcareInnovation #AffordableTech #AccurateTesting #EasyToUseDevices #RapidDiagnostics #HomeHealthcare #PointOfCareTesting #HealthTech

 POCT is usually performed by non-laboratory trained individuals such as nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, perfusionists, anesthesia assistants, midwives, and paramedics. Patients also perform POCT. Home glucose monitors and home pregnancy tests are examples of POCT performed by patients. POCT results are used to make clinical decisions and the use of POCT requires the implementation of a quality assurance program to ensure the accuracy of results for patient safety. In a hospital or clinic-based setting, the main advantage of POCT is that it provides a faster turnaround time than testing performed in the central laboratory. A further attraction of POCT is that it generally requires less sample volume than tests performed in the central laboratory. These benefits come with a monetary cost, as POCT is generally more costly than traditional laboratory-based testing. In general, for example, the cost of POCT glucose testing was anywhere from 1.1 to 4.6 times higher than that of glucose testing performed in the central laboratory. #PointOfCareTesting #HealthcareInnovation #PatientSafety #MedicalDiagnostics #POCTQuality

The connection between #diabetes, #kidneydisease, and high #bloodpressure It's a triple health threat faced by tens of millions of people. But few think about it until they're forced to. Even then, the interplay between #diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease can be a challenge for people to grasp. But doctors say having an understanding is key for anybody who wants to reduce their risk or already has the conditions or who helps a family member with them. According to the Centers for #Disease Control and Prevention, millions of people have #diabetes. Most cases are Type 2 or adult-onset. When someone has diabetes, they can't make or use #insulin as well as they should. That causes blood sugar to rise, which leads to various complications throughout the body. Physicians say that diabetes can affect small blood #vessels. And that can result in hypertension. And that can also result in kidney disease. It can be a vicious cycle.

Today, the entire team at #Chromatech had a very beneficial #meeting, as the main subject for discussion was the achievements that have been recently accomplished in the preparation of advanced solutions designed in order to measure #biochemical #blood factors. Such discussions are therefore critical to maintaining team cohesion among the team members, vision knowledge sharing, and enhancing value to #innovation in #health-seeking behavior.

In a previous post, we mentioned the link between #diabetes, #kidney disease, and high #blood pressure and the challenges that the interplay between these three #diseases poses to individuals. Diabetes causes #kidneys to become less efficient at filtering blood. It also causes blood #vessels to stiffen, which leads to high blood pressure. And high blood pressure accelerates kidney disease like kerosene thrown on a fire. That worsens the high blood pressure, the root of many heart-related problems. Much of that cycle goes on invisibly, #doctors said. "Most people with Type 2 diabetes don't receive a #diagnosis and don't start taking #medication for about five years into their diabetes," they said. "High blood pressure is infamous as a 'silent killer.' And kidney disease has no symptoms until it is almost end-stage." According to the CDC, an estimated 37% of U.S. adults with diagnosed diabetes also have chronic kidney disease. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that up to 40% of people with Type 2 diabetes eventually will develop kidney failure.

Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Adults with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers, infection, and the eventual need for limb amputation. Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness and occurs as a result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the retina. Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure and the cause of 2.6% of global blindness. However, it is worth noting that these issues can be avoided if this disease is detected early enough. #technology #blood #health #healthcare #tech #innovation #innovative

Blood and pathology tests leave many people squeamish, but they're an important part of detecting, diagnosing, and treating disease. In fact, if you're sick, many decisions about your care will come down to the results of your blood and pathology tests.  Pathology means the study of disease and its causes and progression. Pathology tests cover blood tests and tests on urine, stools (feces), and bodily tissues.  Apart from detecting and diagnosing disease, blood and pathology tests are important for the other cases that we will discuss in the next post. #technology #tech #innovation #innovative #startup #idea #health #healthcare

Prevention is better than cure! A blood test, or #CBC, is a test to count and measure blood cells, including red blood cells or white blood cells, and to measure them relative to each other. Assessing these characteristics helps your doctor diagnose various diseases, anemias, blood clots, #infections, #inflammations, and #cancers. These cells are produced in the bone marrow, and their amount and number vary according to the age group of the experimenter. Even smoking varies in assessing the blood characteristics of other people. When you see a doctor, this test is routinely requested to check your physical condition. In addition to the doctor, you can also do these tests yourself periodically and regularly in the form of a check-up test. One of the most important benefits of having a blood test is that if you have a problem, it will be identified early and at the very beginning, and you can start the treatment faster and easier to solve this problem faster and easier. And in general, it has #economic and #health benefits for everyone. #cancer #bloodtest #health #healthcare #medicine #technology
