2024 TFDA National Pharmaceutical Technology & Research Development Award, NPRDA
This award-winning product is one of the few all-in-one home medical testing devices in Taiwan, and has already obtained MOHW medical device approval and CE certification. Most home medical testing devices on the market only test for one parameter. Our product integrates multiple functions that can test for five parameters. Different test strips can be used to take five types of readings, including blood sugar and uric acid, from minute blood samples in just a few seconds. The cholesterol test in particular needs only 15 seconds. The product has won praise for its efficiency and accuracy.
It is suitable for people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, people needing to control their weight, people with unbalanced diets, and people having trouble controlling their metabolism to help re-balance their body. The machine’s interface is intuitive and easy to understand. It can distinguish between different test strips and comes with indicator lights. It provides a clear picture of the physical condition and readings can be transmitted in real-time to the app platform for recording and analysis to help with self-health management. The data can be linked to healthcare units as well, making it an excellent choice of tele- or home-healthcare.
