The future of decentralized healthcare is mind-boggling! Imagine personalized treatments, AI-powered self-diagnostics, and instant access to medical data.

But in real world of health technology, revolutions don't happen overnight. This is a rather long process of research, a creation of new technologies, long laboratory testing and an even longer process of approved of FDA or CE Mark/IVDR.

This process is perfectly illustrated by a recent article about development and future of lateral flow assay for Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44222-022-00007-3#Sec2

By the way, one of the first devices already available on market and game-changing rules, recently launched on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37638489

Igloo based on computer vision and multiplexing assay is part of decentralized health and affordable self-testing of the future. The revolution is just beginning!
