In a major push toward decentralised healthcare, Avio Smart Market Stack Limited (ASMS) and Huwel Lifesciences have announced the launch of Cubo, an ultra compact RT-PCR platform designed to expand access to molecular diagnostics across India.
The Cubo platform aims to revolutionize point of care diagnostics by enabling advanced molecular testing closer to patients, especially in underserved and remote areas. Unlike traditional systems that rely on centralized laboratories, Cubo allows testing at or near the point of care significantly reducing delays, logistical challenges, and turnaround times.
Built with portability and affordability in mind, the platform can be deployed across a wide range of settings, including rural clinics, district hospitals, mobile health units, industrial sites, and border regions. This makes it particularly valuable in regions where access to diagnostic infrastructure remains limited.
Cubo combines laboratory grade RT-PCR capabilities with a simplified workflow and user friendly interface, enabling healthcare professionals to perform accurate tests without the need for highly specialized environments. The platform supports a broad range of diagnostic applications, including tuberculosis, respiratory infections, influenza, viral panels, women’s health diagnostics, sexually transmitted infections, and fever related conditions.
The launch aligns with the global shift toward decentralised and point of care diagnostic models, which prioritize speed, accessibility, and efficiency. By bringing advanced testing closer to patients, Cubo is expected to improve clinical decision making, enhance patient outcomes, and strengthen healthcare delivery systems across emerging and developed markets alike.
This development also builds on the broader partnership between ASMS and Huwel, as both companies aim to expand their footprint in the rapidly growing healthtech and diagnostics sector, both in India and internationally.
“Healthcare access should not be determined by geography. Cubo brings advanced diagnostics directly to underserved markets.”
