Contact usLumos Diagnostics has extensive experience developing integrated products solutions including readers, companion apps, and cloud connectivity.
Our customized companion apps provide a modern graphical interface for our readers, which guide users through preparing and running tests, monitoring test progress, displaying and analyzing results, and optionally providing connectivity to cloud and laboratory information systems. We have developed customized apps for Android and iOS smartphones/tablets and Windows PCs.
A cloud interface serves as a pivotal asset for capturing crucial information such as point-of-care (POC) device locations, test usage, results, and associated patient metrics. This offers insightful access to aggregated data, fostering the discovery of new product and market opportunities.
Lumos partners with cutting-edge medical cloud platform providers, empowering our clients to build a comprehensive product ecosystem with elevated reader capabilities and data visualization. We work collaboratively with you to customize our platform to fit your exact needs - precise solutions that align with your business goals. Additionally, we have experience integrating with our client's existing cloud platforms.
The Lumos team has already developed the foundation to design your medical devices that meet the latest standards in cybersecurity and patient privacy including complying with HIPAA, HITECH, and GDPR. We provide a wide spectrum of data management options, which seamlessly integrate with reader and assay strip development to create multiple product options and use cases for any device.
Cloud
Lumos partners with cloud platforms utilizing industry leading infrastructure to provide secure storage and access to data. This translates to real value for our clients by mitigating the burden of infrastructure.
Integration
With extensive experience delivering digital solutions, the entire POC test development can be focused on data acquisition, management and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and/or Information System integration. Lumos can also provide connectivity infrastructure if required.
Connectivity
Lumos readers can be designed to either store data internally or on a local connected device and transmitted to a remote location for storage and management.
Frequently asked questions
Does Lumos Diagnostics develop companion apps for its readers?
Lumos Diagnostics develops customized companion apps that provide a graphical interface for its readers, guiding users through preparing and running tests, monitoring test progress, and displaying and analyzing results. Lumos Diagnostics readers have Bluetooth built in and template apps, giving partners a starting point that can be readily customized to their specific needs. These apps can be developed for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets as well as Windows PCs, so partners can pair a Lumos Diagnostics reader with an app suited to their end users' devices and workflow.
How does adding a companion app and cloud connectivity add value to a point-of-care diagnostic test?
A companion app and cloud connectivity turn a standalone point-of-care test result into part of a connected diagnostic ecosystem. The app makes the reader easier to use, guiding test setup, tracking progress, and clearly displaying results, while the cloud layer enables real-time tracking of device locations, test usage rates, results, and patient metrics in one place. These insights reveal market opportunities, streamline regulatory reporting, and provide higher commercial value to diagnostics providers.
Can Lumos Diagnostics integrate its companion app and diagnostic reader solutions with our existing cloud platform?
Lumos Diagnostics has experience integrating companion apps for diagnostic readers with a partner's existing cloud platform, connecting into infrastructure a partner already has in place rather than requiring a new platform to be adopted. If a partner does not yet have a cloud platform, Lumos Diagnostics has existing relationships with established medical cloud platform providers to offer a purpose-made cloud solution.
How does combining Lumos Diagnostics Readers, App and Cloud development shorten time-to-market?
Sourcing a reader, companion app, and cloud infrastructure from a single partner removes the integration risk of pulling those pieces together from separate vendors, since Lumos Diagnostics designs the reader, app, and cloud connectivity to work together from the outset. Because Lumos Diagnostics readers are already market-ready and developed to ISO 13485, and Lumos Diagnostics template apps already communicate with them out of the box, partners start from a proven, working system rather than building the reader-to-app connection from scratch. The result is fewer integration steps, less risk of late-stage rework, and a faster path from initial development to a manufactured, market-ready product.
How does data flow securely from a Lumos Diagnostics Reader to the Cloud and downstream systems?
Test results captured on a Lumos Diagnostics reader are transmitted via Bluetooth to the companion app, which then can (optionally) send the data on to a cloud platform for storage and management, with security and privacy built into this pathway as needed. From the cloud, results and associated data can be made available to connect with a partner's downstream systems, whether that's an EMR, LIS or other data management platforms. Because Lumos Diagnostics can design the reader, app, and cloud connectivity together, this data pathway can be secure by design from the outset rather than added on later, reducing the risk of security gaps or compatibility issues appearing once a product reaches its target market.
