Lifeline

Edge-Powered Blood Testing with AI Intelligence. Under $110.

Lifeline is a low-cost, home-fabricated blood analyzer for essential biomarkers, built for students, clinics, and communities.

Why Lifeline?

The world faces a critical gap in diagnostic access. Early biomarker detection saves lives, but current solutions are too expensive and inaccessible for the communities that need them most.

๐ŸŒ

Global Diagnostic Gap

Over 4 billion people lack access to basic diagnostic testing. Early detection of biomarkers can save lives, but current solutions are too expensive and inaccessible.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Cost Barrier

Traditional blood testing requires expensive lab equipment and trained technicians, making it inaccessible to communities that need it most.

๐Ÿฅ

Geographic Isolation

Rural clinics, disaster zones, and developing regions often lack the infrastructure for comprehensive blood analysis, leaving patients without critical health information.

๐ŸŽ“

Educational Barriers

Students and researchers need affordable access to blood testing for learning and innovation, but current solutions are prohibitively expensive.



A Portable Lab in Your Hand

Lifeline combines microfluidic technology, optical sensing, and edge AI to create a professional-grade blood analyzer with intelligent result interpretation that anyone can build and use.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Portable Design

Compact optical reader that fits in your hand. No bulky lab equipment required - take blood testing anywhere.

๐Ÿงช

Disposable Cartridges

Single-use microfluidic test strips with colorimetric assays. Simple, safe, and designed for one-time use.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Onboard Optics

Built-in optical sensor analyzes color changes in the test strips to measure biomarker concentrations accurately.

๐Ÿ“ถ

Bluetooth Connectivity

Wirelessly connect to your phone or tablet for detailed results, data logging, and remote monitoring capabilities.

๐Ÿ”ง

DIY Assembly

Fully open-source design with detailed instructions. Build your own Lifeline reader from readily available components.

๐Ÿค–

Edge AI Intelligence

Fine-tuned Gemma 3n multimodal model provides intelligent result interpretation with lifestyle context, running fully on-device for privacy.

๐Ÿ’ก

Under $110 BOM

Complete bill of materials costs less than $110, making professional-grade blood testing accessible to everyone.



How It Works

Four simple steps to professional-grade blood analysis. No training required, no complex procedures.

1
๐Ÿฉธ

Prick finger and add blood

Use the included lancet to prick your finger and collect a small drop of blood. Apply it to the designated area on the test strip.

2
๐Ÿ“ฑ

Insert cartridge into reader

Place the prepared test strip into the Lifeline reader cartridge slot. The device will automatically detect the strip and begin analysis.

3
๐Ÿ”ฌ

Optical sensor analyzes

The built-in optical sensor measures color changes in the test strip, converting them into quantitative biomarker measurements.

4
๐Ÿ“Š

Results displayed

View your biomarker results directly on the device screen or connect via Bluetooth to see detailed data on your phone.

Real-World Impact

Lifeline is designed for the communities that need it most. From classrooms to disaster zones, we're making professional blood testing accessible everywhere.

๐ŸŽ“

Classroom Learning

Students can learn about blood analysis hands-on, understanding the science behind diagnostic testing.

๐Ÿšจ

Disaster Response

Rapid deployment in emergency situations where traditional lab infrastructure is unavailable.

๐Ÿฅ

Rural Clinics

Bringing essential diagnostic capabilities to communities with limited healthcare access.

๐Ÿงฌ

Bioengineering Projects

Researchers and makers can prototype and test blood analysis systems affordably.

๐Ÿ’ฌ
"Lifeline has transformed how we teach blood analysis in our bioengineering lab. Students can now build and use their own diagnostic devices, gaining hands-on experience that was previously impossible due to cost constraints."
