Hi Product Hunt! We're excited to share Athelas Screen with everyone. It uses the technology we've built for Athelas (http://athelas.com) to bring a low-cost and rapid White Blood Cell test to your home for only $5. White Blood Cell counts are really powerful immune markers - they go up during infections, down during certain diseases, and approach really high ranges right during the onset of Leukemia and a few other malignancies. By taking a simple 2 minute test using our device every month, you can catch conditions earlier. Especially for at-risk populations (people with Down Syndrome, undergoing Chemotherapy, MDS, and other immunocompromising illnesses), this count can be life-saving. If you sign up and shoot me an email at tanay [at] getathelas.com , we'll make your first month's test free with no commitment for following months!

This will help scores of immunodeficient individuals. I am extremely thrilled to see a product at the intersection of computer vision and healthcare. What is your accuracy?

@devaki_raj Thanks Devaki! in inter-rater testing with the gold standard beckman counter, we hit 100% clinical range accuracy. You can check out more of our data here: https://athelas.com/data/

As someone who 's worked in clinical medicine in the past, these guys are solving an incredibly huge pain point in high risk populations. This is one of the most talented teams I've met and I'm incredibly excited for what the future has in store for them. They are approaching the space with a level of transparency (https://athelas.com/manifesto/) that's a breath of fresh air for this industry. I've already bought one of their devices, but I'll be buying screen for everyone in my family.
