Antimicrobial resistance and the diagnostic infrastructure failure that drives it

An estimated 1.27 million people died in 2019 from drug-resistant infections. A large part of the cause is simple: clinicians prescribe without a diagnostic answer to guide them.

Biodegradable medical plastics — where the science stands and what must be solved

Healthcare produces millions of tonnes of plastic waste a year. Making medical consumables biodegradable is a genuine materials-science challenge, not a marketing slogan.

Biomedical waste in India — the regulatory landscape and the opportunity

India generates 600+ tonnes of biomedical waste daily. For thousands of small facilities, compliant treatment is out of reach — and that gap is an engineering opportunity.

What point-of-care diagnostics must achieve to serve primary health centres

A device that works in a city hospital can fail completely in a rural primary health centre. Designing for the real operating conditions is the entire challenge.

Building a deep-tech diagnostic startup in India — what we have learned

Deep-tech hardware in healthcare is slow, capital-intensive, and unforgiving. A few honest lessons from building BIQADX from first principles.
