Ce que fait Scout

Digital health holds a lot of potential but is ignoring a growing problem: diagnostic testing. Without this data, providers and organizations will be limited in the services they can provide patients at home. Scout has developed a platform - Hub, test kits, and app - that delivers health testing at home with 10x lower development cost and 3x lower per-test price. Our patented tech also meets performance requirements for medical diagnoses and integrates with the current healthcare tech stack. Scout’s technology is poised to disrupt the outdated $33Bn diagnostic market by democratizing testing while dramatically improving the patient experience. Scout has received $16M in non-dilutive funding from the NIH and other organizations to fully de-risk our platform, and our pipeline includes a diverse test menu for primary care (e.g. respiratory and sexual health), wellness (e.g. gut health), and chronic conditions (e.g. certain cancers). We have already received FDA authorization for our platform in clinical settings and are planning to launch our flagship Scout Hub in 2024.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Smart home testing platform for digital health.

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

We are building Scout Hub, a platform combining hardware test kits and an app to run medical-grade diagnostic tests at home. It lowers development costs and per-test prices, while integrating with existing healthcare systems. Our tests cover respiratory, sexual health, gut wellness, and chronic conditions, aiming to bring accurate diagnostic data out of labs and into patients' hands.

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

We live in Santa Clara, CA, and intend to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Santa Clara is where our team and early lab partnerships are located. Staying local keeps us close to hardware suppliers and clinical testing partners, which are key for our platform development and FDA processes.
