Readily Diagnostics secured a $970,000 Gates Foundation grant to develop a point-of-care sexually transmitted infection test for low-resource settings. The test uses isothermal padlock probe technology to detect chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, with an added focus on identifying gonorrhea antibiotic resistance genetic markers. In workflow innovation, Metriport raised $26 million to make it easier for clinicians to retrieve patient data, while Datavant launched a provider exchange platform designed to replace fax-based record requests with a digital workflow—aiming to cut retrieval time from days to hours.
