Waterscope
WaterScope is a social impact startup founded in 2015 and based at the University of Cambridge, UK. They aim to address global water inequality by providing smart, simple, and reliable bacterial testing for drinking water. Their innovative system, which refines the ISO 9308-1 method, uses a motorized pump, a machine learning algorithm for automated colony counting, and an optional IoT module to upload data to a central dashboard. The system can identify coliforms in 8 hours and provide quantitative results in 21 hours, making it significantly faster and more accessible than traditional lab-based methods. WaterScope is seeking implementation partners and funding to scale its operations and impact, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 6.
