Scanbase is a pioneering startup that is revolutionizing the diagnostic industry by developing an API and on-device tech that enables medical companies to incorporate smartphone-based computer vision into their at-home diagnostic tests. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company's mission is to improve patient access to healthcare by equipping providers with advanced technology that enhances their patients' diagnostic journey at home.

Navigating the healthcare system in the US can be a frustrating and financially burdensome experience. The team at Scanbase believes that everyone deserves the ability to test for diseases, receive reliable results, and receive treatment, all from the comfort and safety of their own home. The company's vision is to make healthcare more accessible to all by supporting the advancement of computer vision technology and delivering patient-centric, telehealth-enabled solutions. Scanbase's technology converts analog tests into digital workflows that seamlessly integrate with telehealth partners. The company is committed to creating the software of the future, today; developing technology that empowers organizations to enhance their customer interactions, effectively integrate with them, make data-driven decisions, and ultimately improve operational efficiency.

Scanbase addresses the prevalent issue of digitizing test results, which can be a cumbersome and resource-intensive process. The traditional method of digitizing lateral flow and colorimetric results is often costly and time-consuming. Scanbase offers an innovative solution by leveraging the power of computer vision to analyze and convert photographs of tests into actionable and useful results, using any digital device, including computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Scanbase's technology offers a range of benefits for various stakeholders, including patients who need accurate results and prescriptions, medical teams who require clear images of test results, and test providers who seek more comprehensive and actionable insights. By simply taking a photograph of a test with any digital device, the proprietary computer vision software of Scanbase processes the image, generating and distributing digital results and reports to the appropriate recipients.

Scanbase is currently focused on various tests, including COVID-19, FLU A/b, Strep, HEP C, RSV, pregnancy tests, fertility tests, and drug screenings - just to name a few. Some of the use cases for Scanbase include mobile and web apps that are easily deployable to sites to scan tests, and the ability to drastically reduce the cost of hardware readers and associated replacement costs. It also enables organizations to extract valuable insights into test usage, and the data points that are crucial for internal monitoring processes.

The team behind Scanbase is dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to the best healthcare technology. They are committed to enhancing patient access to healthcare and delivering results that matter to their clients by staying true to their mission and investing extensively in understanding their customers' needs.
