Weave
Decentralising NIPT testing
Weave was developed for non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a system that unifies extraction, library preparation and sequencing in a single, automated run. With just a few drops of blood, the single-use module is loaded and placed into the instrument. The single-use module handles all sequencing steps by utilising the lab-on-a-chip principle with magnets, microfluidics and a real-time sensor.
Weave allows the lab technician to focus on their task at hand by independently managing all technical and biological processes. The instrument, module and UI were all shaped around defined user touchpoints, from blood sampling to sequencing and analysis.
One unified system
What once required multiple systems and hours of waiting is now a single, seamless workflow, giving lab technicians clarity and expectant parents peace of mind.
Reducing cognitive load
Lab technicians need systems that behave predictably and communicate clearly. The goal was to reduce uncertainty at every touchpoint, without removing the user’s sense of control. We focused early on clinical workflows, risk factors, and user behaviour.
A digiphysical approach
Just as the user, we don’t see physical and digital as separate. With Weave, we looked at all parts of the system, creating one intuitive experience.
