About Us
Who we are
Biohabit is a medical technology start-up focused on revolutionizing heart failure diagnostics with our point of care NT-proCheck test.
What we do
Unlike traditional methods, our test uses oral fluid instead of blood, making the process faster, easier, and more comfortable for patients.
Why we do
Our mission is to make diagnostic tools more accessible to everyone, improving quality of life and saving lives by enabling the early detection of heart failure.
Support Our Cause
Currently, we are raising funds for a critical clinical study to advance NT-proCheck.
