Biosense (founded in 2008):

The device can diagnose anemia, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and early-stage kidney disease. "This is critical because the speed of the diagnoses can save lives," said Dr Sen.

The devices have so far conducted nearly 100,000 tests and are being used in 2,500 clinics in rural villages.
