Our Value Proposition

Keen’s CoronaCheck will be the first at-home, over-the-counter COVID-19 test. The CoronaCheck will allow users to run multiple tests with disposable cartridges, providing users the ability to test entire families or repeat tests for individuals in the comfort of their home. Convenience is key; what makes our device easy to use is that it only requires a saliva sample. Unlike the 24-72 hour turnaround times of current test kits that require laboratory equipment, the CoronaCheck displays results within the hour.
