What inspired you to make this project?
Group K Diagnostics was born out of diagnostic obstacles observed in a local HIV clinic. Patients were constantly being lost prior to follow up because the time to receive results from diagnostics test is too long. HIV patients have a higher chance of liver or kidney toxicity from the antiretroviral drug regimen and if something is failing, clinics are oftentimes unable to contact patients to change their pharmaceutical regimen. The long follow-up times, or inability to follow-up, led to higher hospitalization rates, permanently lowered organ function, and increased multi-drug resistance.
