Berlin's blood test startup triumphs secretively in the Covid-19 race
The Berlin-based startup Probatix is revolutionising healthcare by integrating routine medical tests into daily processes, making blood analyses, urine, and stool examinations more accessible and user-friendly[1].
Originally known as Venture Leap, Probatix was founded by Daniel Werner and Philipp Noack in 2019. The startup initially focused on a modular web application platform, but a pivot during the COVID-19 pandemic led them to reorient towards medical testing[1].
The pandemic served as a fortunate turn of events for Probatix, as they adapted their platform to emphasise home diagnostics. This shift allows users to conduct essential health tests remotely, reducing exposure risk and ensuring continuous monitoring and early detection of health issues as part of regular health management[1].
Probatix's mission is to provide blood analyses without long wait times at GP's, making healthcare more efficient and convenient for their users. They achieve this by offering easy-to-use home test kits and digital access to results and analyses[1].
Part of Probatix's offerings includes COVID tests, which can be conducted via their platform. This service is particularly important in the current pandemic, providing a safe and accessible way for individuals to get tested[1].
Probatix also aims to provide lab diagnostics as a plug-and-play solution for their partners, enabling health insurers, digital health startups, and other partners to offer medical tests via their own platform[1].
By integrating medical tests into daily processes, Probatix aims to prevent routine medical tests from blocking valuable resources in GP practices. This approach simplifies healthcare delivery for their users and partners, making it easier for everyone to manage their health effectively.

What if we can leverage Probatix's technology for simultaneous health and wellness checkups, especially focusing on medical-conditions monitoring? By integrating science and technology, we can make routine medical tests, such as blood analyses and home diagnostics for various conditions, more accessible and user-friendly, contributing to a healthier society.
