Our take

Chronomics is a tech-bio company that has built the world’s first plug-in, end-to-end bio-infrastructure platform. This is able to radically simplify, speed up and scale how organisations integrate biomarker diagnostics into their products and service offerings - driving value and improving outcomes.

Until 2020, Chronomics' primary market was epigenetic testing, but in recent years Chronomics's market-focus shifted massively towards COVID-19 testing. Its bio-infrastructure was able to be used to provide self-served Covid tests. Now a key provider of Covid tests, Chronomics has rapidly become a major player in this market, demonstrating the success of the bio-infrastructure it built.

Chronomics' bio-infrastructure, however, has many other uses outside of Covid testing. It's being used to power diagnostics for telehealth; create scientific diet plans in meal tracking apps; transform how people sleep with personalised supplements; customise skincare; and fitness routines and facilitate safe travel and work during the pandemic. Chronomics is enabling businesses to offer products which are truly unique to their customers, with scientific proof it really works.
