New Delhi, India, February
16, 2018- India faces a huge dual disease burden – lifestyle diseases like
diabetes, infertility, heart ailments etc. common in the metros and cities, as
well as the traditional communicable diseases like Dengue and Malaria majorly
affecting the rural areas. While the characteristics of these diseases are
vastly different, the key element of the solution is common to both of them –
the need of portable diagnostic devices; for regular monitoring in the case of
lifestyle diseases and mass screening in the case of communicable diseases.






However, existing
diagnostic device technology available in India, like a glucometer, either
allows a single test on one portable device or several complicated steps in the
lab before testing. But, a recent report by Dr. Satish Dubey, professor at IIT
Delhi has uncovered a portable diagnostic device that can read dozens of
diagnostic test strips with a 99.12% correlation when compared to lab grade scanners.
The tested diagnostic
device developed by Bangalore based medical diagnostic firm, Inito has achieved
the performance of a Rs.3 Lakhs costing bulky lab reader in a Rs. 3000 device
that is small and portable. This discovery opens up realms of opportunities in the
space of medical diagnostics as it allows access to medical diagnostic labs
right in people’s home. Smartphone ownership in India is growing rapidly and
now anyone with a smartphone can monitor there body
using a few simple steps.
The report highlights that
this inexpensive portable device uses a patent-pending imaging technology
called ‘flat lens’ that allows a single portable device paired with a
smartphone to conduct dozens of diagnostic tests with the same device. The
invention of a ubiquitous platform that enables testing of a variety of tests
at low costs, in the comfort of home is path-breaking.
The first test that Inito
has launched is a Fertility Monitor targeted at couples trying to have a baby.  Tests for Diabetes, Thyroid and Vitamin D
tests will soon be added to the device. Addition of more tests takes just an
App update and ordering the strips for the user. Third party strips can also be
added to the Inito platform by just an App upgrade. 




For measuring the
performance of the Inito device, measurements using strips of Estrogen and
Lutenizing Hormone were taken and measured in both lab grade readers and the
Inito Device. The researchers then found that there is a 99.12% correlation
between the Inito Device and the Qiagen ESE Quant lab reader. Additionaly, the
company had validated the device using 360 urine samples collected from 50
women from Bangalore in urban and sub-urban areas across 3 months .
Dr. Satish Dubey,
Instrument Design Centre, IIT Delhi said, “It was observed that the
measurements from the Inito device have a very high correlation with that of
the Qiagen reader irrespective of the mobile phone used. This makes the Inito
Device a reliable tool for portable diagnostics.”
Varun AV, co-founder of Inito
said “Reliability is one of the most important attributes of a medical
device. Achieving the performance of strip readers that is 100 times more
expensive and 10x bulkier in a small and portable form factor like Inito is a
proof of the cutting edge technology that Inito has built.”
The device is priced at Rs
3,195 and can be purchased on Inito’s website or on Amazon. It will soon be
available in pharmacies. So far, the company
has four patents pending in its name in six geographies including US, European
Union, Japan, India, Russia and China. It has also bagged the three prestigious
design awards – CII Design Award, India Design Mark and Japanese Good Design
Award.
