Technology
The technology behind the simplicity
Diagestics is developing a proprietary hydrogen-sensing platform that combines a reusable electronic reader with sealed, single-use sensor cartridges.
Workflow
Designed for an accessible home-testing workflow
1
Insert the cartridge A sealed single-use sensor cartridge interfaces with the reader.
2
Collect a breath sample The system is designed to measure hydrogen in exhaled breath.
3
Read the result The reader provides the measurement for the applicable protocol.
