Rightangled is a healthcare technology company backed by NHS England & regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It began its journey as a platform that would enable the use of genetic information within the medical practice, in an accurate, streamlined, and affordable way. It gradually established itself as a healthcare provider for screening and diagnostic services. Its Heart DNA Test project, launched in 2017, is helping patients minimize their cardiac risks and enabling doctors to have a complete risk profile for their patients. The project was appreciated and received funding from NHS England. Its next project, Fitness DNA Test, tapped into the fitness and wellbeing markets. Recently, in the wake of the COVID-19 threat, the company has developed a home-based throat swab test to detect the viral infection, by testing viral load presented in its nucleic acid material within (RNA). For its efforts, Rightangled has been featured on CNN, Sky News, LBC radio, Sky News radio, and Newsweek. With the investment, the company aims to release a mobile application by the end of 2020, and develop an AI system to give instant tailored health, diet, and fitness advice to its users based on the data gathered from patient-doctor interactions and patient responses.
