Medtech firm Inito's flat lens granted patent rights by the USPTO

Chennai: Bengaluru-based medical tech company Inito has been granted patent rights for their flat-lens technology by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The patented flat-lens technology allows the Inito device to perform lab-grade diagnostic tests at home just using a smartphone and a low cost device.

The sample is put on the test strip and the strip is inserted into the Inito device. The device is then attached to the phone whose camera captures images of the strip through the flat lens.

The device also automatically calibrates the variations between different phones giving the same accuracy irrespective of the phone used. The Inito app displays the result and also tracks the values for analysis.

Aayush Rai, co-founder and CEO, Inito said, “Inito’s Flat Lens allows you to perform dozens of tests on your phone. The patent grant by the US Patent Office provides us defensibility in the global market and will help us cement our leadership position in bringing the quality diagnostic tests to every home. ”
