Our take
Acurable produces the first wearable medical device able to accurately diagnose and manage respiratory conditions at home. Its wearable devices are clinically-proven and boast an accuracy five times greater than alternatives. Small in size and efficiency, its sensors are easy-to-use and, crucially, able to reduce the need for a specialist in the process of diagnosing conditions.
Acurable is responding to two major market trends. Firstly, the market for self-managed health has boomed in recent years. Consumers are already using devices such as Fitbits to track their exercise and sleep, and Acurable is betting on people taking similar interest in their medical health. Secondly, one of healthcare's most pressing challenges is the cost of using specialists to diagnose patients. If Acurable can move diagnosis away from doctors and into homes, they can free up valuable medical practitioners for the real problems that demand their expertise - boosting the company and the healthcare system.
If Acurable can continue the fast growth it has seen so far, it could revolutionise how we diagnose respiratory conditions. Backed by major investors and now a part of the Microsoft ScaleUp programme, it has the potential to really make us think about how diagnosis works in the modern age.
