API to analyze photos of diagnostic tests

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We provide an API that medical companies can integrate to convert photos of rapid diagnostic tests - like COVID-19 or flu tests - into machine-readable results. This lets healthcare apps and telemedicine platforms automate test result capture without manual input. Our product uses computer vision and machine learning to interpret images accurately across different types of tests.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Los Angeles, CA, and would continue to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're already based in Los Angeles with our small team. The local healthcare and tech ecosystem around here supports what we build and who we work with, so we see no reason to relocate after YC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Scanbase YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Scanbase's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Scanbase would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
