Launch YC S21: Meet the Batch, Thread #9
We&#x27;re Jiawei and Jialu of Tuli Health (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tuli.health&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tuli.health&#x2F;</a>). We let people get medical diagnostics quickly and safely in a pharmacy close to home, instead of going to a hospital. We&#x27;re based in the UK.<p>I have a MD PhD from University College London, and Jialu has been a software engineer for the past 10 years. We’ve lived in London for a decade and while we appreciate the NHS, we also wished for a world where we could walk down the street to get healthcare. This is what we&#x27;re building.<p>Instead of travelling a long distance and waiting a long time to receive diagnostic tests, customers can now receive diagnostic tests from their local pharmacies, just around the corner from where they live.<p>There are 11,000 independent pharmacies in the UK. Our software makes it easy for them to sell and fulfill Covid-19 tests. These same pharmacies have just started selling allergy tests as well.<p>We offer easy-to-use software for the pharmacies to register and manage patients for diagnostic tests. We are currently used by over 150 pharmacies. The link to the dashboard is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portal.tuli.health" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portal.tuli.health</a>. A user can sign up as an end customer or a pharmacy.<p>Covid has led to changes in our user behaviour. Many services have now become hyper-localised. Covid tests led to the pharmacies delivering the first diagnostic tests. In the future, other diagnostic tests will also be available: STI, , biochemistry profile, gluten intolerance... Hopefully things will get easier and more accessible. We look forward to your questions and feedback!
