How does at-home testing with INTU work?
Testing with INTU is designed to be as simple as possible while delivering results you can trust. You collect a sample, place it in our test cartridge, and activate the test. The cartridge does all the work internally, no additional steps, equipment, or interpretation needed.
Within few minutes, you'll see a clear visual result right on the test device.
Why would I choose INTU's test over other options?
Most at-home health tests fall into two categories: rapid tests that give quick results but aren't very accurate, or lab-based tests that are accurate but require shipping samples and waiting days for results.
INTU bridges this gap by bringing laboratory-quality testing directly to you, INTU's approach works anywhere, anytime. Whether you're at home, traveling, or in a location without reliable power or internet, you get the same accurate results.
What diseases can INTU test for?
INTU Diagnostics is developing a versatile platform technology capable of detecting multiple infectious diseases using the equipment-free approach.
Our initial focus is HPV (Human Papillomavirus) detection for cervical cancer screening, followed by respiratory viruses including COVID-19, RSV, and influenza. The platform's modular design enables expansion to sexually transmitted infections as well as applications for diseases that disproportionately affect underserved populations, including malaria and tuberculosis.
This platform approach means the same infrastructure-free testing capability can address multiple global health challenges without requiring different equipment or training for each disease.
When should I use a molecular test like INTU's instead of a rapid test?
Rapid tests have their place for quick, preliminary screening when you need an immediate answer and understand the limitations. But for decisions that impact your health, your family's safety, or your peace of mind, molecular testing provides the reliability you need. INTU makes this level of testing accessible without the usual barriers of labs, appointments, and waiting - you get both accuracy and convenience.
Do I need any special equipment or technology to use INTU's tests?
No. INTU's tests are completely self-contained, everything you need is in the test kit itself. You don't need electricity, batteries, a smartphone, an app, internet connection, or any external devices. This is intentional: we believe health testing shouldn't depend on having the latest technology or living in an area with perfect infrastructure.
