About Atherna

Atherna is a healthcare technology company focused on rethinking how diagnostic testing is performed by making it faster, more flexible, and more accessible.

The Atherna 1.0 machine is Atherna's first working tabletop diagnostic platform, designed to analyze cartridge-based tests with a compact, lab-grade form factor. Built to support multi-analyte testing, Atherna 1.0 is engineered to process up to ten tests simultaneously using next-generation cartridges, enabling rapid insights without the delays of traditional laboratory workflows.

The system emphasizes modularity, data connectivity, and scalability, laying the foundation for a new class of diagnostic devices that bridge the gap between point-of-care testing and full laboratory analysis.
