# 2016 Nema |
Nema is a simple, low cost, disposable test designed for home screening and monitoring of anemia; a condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or of haemoglobin in the blood. Anemia affects 2 billion people annually and current screening is only conducted in clinics and hospitals, with limited reach to resource-poor communities. To use, the patient collects less than a drop of blood, mixes it with a chemical solution, the test then shows the user’s haemoglobin level.
