Our algorithms then launch individualized games that help students center themselves and get ready to learn.
As students play, educators can monitor their well-being patterns in real-time. 160+ in-game data points are used for AI-flagging, identifying at-risk students and supporting tier 2 and 3 interventions - Screen early and give support quickly!
Founded in 2019, MedFluid is committed to making biomedical testing affordable and easy to use for everyone. Using patented LOC (Lab-on-a-chip) microfluidics, MedFluid has developed two products for decentralized healthcare: POCT molecular diagnosis (“O-in”) and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (“NAST”).
