Cleancard makes cancer screening as simple as a home pregnancy test by enabling rapid, lab-grade detection from urine. The company combines synthetic biology sensors with artificial intelligence analysis to detect and track biomarkers from a urine sample in about 30 minutes. Cleancard operates as a consumer-facing at-home diagnostics platform that delivers rapid screens for specific cancers using a single-sample workflow. Its platform approach allows the company to expand the panel of detectable conditions, currently including prostate, bladder, and ovarian cancers.
