Our approach
Why decentralized diagnostics matter
An introduction to the ideas that guide our work. This page is educational and does not describe or promote any specific product.
Centralized care is under strain
Around the world, health systems face pressures that make the traditional, hospital-centered model harder to sustain.
An ageing world
The World Health Organization projects a shortage of around 10 million health workers by 2030, straining traditional systems.
Access barriers
Distance, time and logistical complexity can make regular testing more difficult, particularly when repeated monitoring is required.
Rising pressure
Growing demand and cost make it harder for centralized facilities to keep pace.
Bringing care closer to people
Decentralized healthcare is an emerging response — a set of models that move testing and care nearer to the patient.
Point-of-care testing (POCT)
Testing performed near the patient — in clinics, pharmacies or the community — rather than only in a central laboratory.
Near-patient care
Services delivered by professionals closer to where people live, easing pressure on hospitals.
Home & remote care
Supporting monitoring and decentralized clinical studies beyond the clinic walls.
Care that moves closer to people
For decades, testing has lived in the central laboratory. We focus on enabling sample collection closer to the patient, while supporting connection to established diagnostic workflows.

Enabling the pre-analytical step
Much of clinical decision-making relies on laboratory testing — and the very first step in that journey is sample collection. Winnoz focuses on making that first step simpler, so decentralized care can work in practice.
