Cholera is a disease that affects 5M people in 41 countries annually. Current cholera detection platforms are time-intensive, costly, and imprecise, exacerbating wide-scale disease outbreaks throughout the world.

OmniVis’ hardware device and single-use disposable test kit (razor/razorblade model) attaches to a smartphone and reduces the detection process from 3-5 days down to 30 minutes, accurately and affordably.
