Our Journey

Our story begins in 2010, when the earliest team members began to explore the idea of a diagnostic test that could be used by anyone, anywhere.

The concept

Click Diagnostics explores a number of markets and identifies sexual health as the direction to pursue. Work begins on an STI test focused on women’s health.
