Simple Strips
Low-cost blood glucose test strips scanned with a smartphone.
We are building low-cost blood glucose test strips that users can scan with a smartphone camera to get accurate readings. This makes monitoring blood sugar easier and cheaper for people with diabetes or anyone needing regular glucose checks.
We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we both live and have access to the resources and community needed to build and grow a health diagnostics company focused on leveraging smartphone technology.
