Many tests in women’s health can only be done in a hospital or clinic. Rea Diagnostics, an EPFL spin-off, is developing tests that women can use at home.

We start with pregnancy, a time full of unknowns. Today, a woman with symptoms of preterm labour has to go to the hospital, sometimes in the middle of the night, for an exam that tells her and her doctor whether she is  are developing Prema Sure™, a self-test to bring this exam home: a self-collected swab and a paper strip, with a result in minutes.

The aim is to give women and their doctors information sooner, so doctors can guide them through pregnancy.

Prema Sure™ is under clinical investigation in three European countries and is not yet available for sale. Rea is supported by Switzerland’s leading grants and awards for research and entrepreneurship. We are a team of 7, based in Lausanne.
