About Avelo
Avelo AG, a Zurich-based diagnostics startup, develops a breath collector to improve the diagnosis of Tuberculosis and respiratory infections causing pneumonia, the world’s 4th leading cause of death. Doctors use their non-invasive sampling tool to painlessly collect a patient’s breath sample from the respiratory tract and analyze it with existing PCR tests for fast and accurate diagnosis. Avelo invented the breath collector with broad utility in mind, comparable to other sample collection technologies such as blood tubes.
