Company
Unima
Fast and low-cost disease diagnostics
We built a diagnostic test that delivers results in 15 minutes without lab equipment. Our product allows healthcare workers and even non-specialists to diagnose diseases on-site, feeding data into a real-time surveillance system to track outbreaks quickly and at low cost.
We live in Zapopan, Jal., Mexico, and the company is based here. After YC, we would continue to operate from Mexico with plans to expand our reach.
We are based here because we know the local healthcare challenges firsthand and can build and distribute our product efficiently in Mexico. Staying local keeps us close to early users and the real problems we need to solve.
