Melio’s is developing a low-cost, near point-of-care testing platform for rapid detection of all common infections. This includes testing for bacteria, fungi and viruses in under 3 hours directly from the patient sample. Melio’s universal platform relies on machine learning to identify different pathogens without making changes to the assay or device. The system is designed to learn to identify new pathogen targets with algorithm retraining only. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are adapting our platform to identify all coronavirus strains in a single test.
