Sustainability

Delivering advanced healthcare to the benefit of all.

Have a look at our social, environmental and economic aims and objectives.

Our social, environmental and economic aims and objectives.

At éclateral, we are driven by our social purpose to create positive social impact through our ethical approach to work.

We are guided by a strong social purpose, which drives us to create positive social impact through an ethical approach. We firmly believe in the importance of inclusion and strive to serve as many communities as possible by providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare support.

Removing barriers to accessing necessary healthcare information is one of our primary goals. We hope that by offering home-health tests we can help to eliminate these challenges. Sometimes display results are difficult to interpret or may not provide a truly accurate reflection of an individual’s health status. A digital response delivers clear results.

We see the possibility to cater to the needs of every community worldwide. By offering a wide range of accessible tests, we aim to address the unique healthcare needs of different populations.

It has been estimated that if healthcare were a country, it would rank as the fifth largest emitter of CO₂. Half of those emissions being attributed to the movement of people. Home-health tests greatly support the initiative of reducing CO₂ emissions in healthcare.

We are actively contributing to a broader industry-wide change that ensures the sustainable growth of healthcare and the preservation of our planets’ future. To achieve our sustainable goals, we have implemented various strategies:

Sourcing alternative options to plastic packaging: We actively seek alternatives to traditional plastic packaging materials, exploring more sustainable options that minimise our environmental impact.
Avoiding single-use plastics: Whenever possible, opting for eco-friendly alternatives that are reusable or recyclable.
Designing products to be reusable, repairable, recyclable and durable, taking into consideration the safety requirements for medical devices.
We are actively seeking partnerships with suppliers and manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainability and have implemented measures to reduce their carbon footprint.
We build products to be robust and long-lasting, promoting longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

In addition to these methods, we have also implemented specific measures within our home-health testing approach:

Our product eliminates the need for travel to test centres, reducing carbon emissions associated with transportation.

While compliance with Medical Device Regulations limits our ability to reuse certain elements, we are actively exploring options to use biodegradable or sustainable plastics of plant origin wherever possible.

We welcome your thoughts and suggestions on how we can further enhance our sustainability efforts. Please feel free to get in touch with us at enquire@eclateral.com.

According to reports from the World Bank and World Health Organisation (WHO), half the world lacks access to essential health services. The report highlights 800 million people spend at least 10% of their household income to pay for health care for themselves, a sick child or other family member, pushing them into extreme poverty

In comparison to the turn of the turn of the century, improvements have been observed in several areas of global health concern, primarily due to advancements in prevention and treatment.

The éclateral home testing kit, which includes the o~pal device, is intentionally designed to be economically accessible. The combination of this device with the Bluetooth paired app offers accurately measured test results automatically uploaded to a central server. Even in areas of no internet access. there is the possibility for data to be saved for later upload. This tool’s accessibility holds the potential to change the landscape of testing and monitoring for easily spreadable diseases, such as HIV and dengue fever which is a tropical mosquito borne viral disease.

For individuals who wish to monitor health in the home, the o~pal device is the most affordable lateral flow test reader available with each device having the capacity to be used over five thousand times using the éclateral home-health test options.

Tropical diseases

Neglected tropical diseases (NTD’s) are prevalent in tropical regions and affect over 1 billion people who already face poor health and poverty. In populations where poverty and famine are widespread, any infection can have devastating consequences.

Many tropical diseases display similar symptoms, although they require distinct treatment pathways. Dengue fever; this viral infection can present with-like symptoms and patients are often advised to use anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen which can worsen bleeding problems associated with dengue. When combating tropical diseases, it is crucial to screen patients for a broad range of infections to ensure appropriate and tailored treatment.

A low-cost screening test has the potential to provide valuable population-level data, facilitating more effective resource allocation via the built-in geolocation options.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The United Nations have a set list of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In each SDG category is a list of specific measurements. We aspire to contribute across these five categories and specific measurements.

Good health and well-being

By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births
By 2030, end preventable deaths of New-borns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births
By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases, and other communicable diseases
By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes
Strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks

Our achievements and aims

We aim to make significant strides in promoting health and wellbeing, with a clear focus on supporting individuals during and after pregnancy. The tests are to be specifically designed to assess iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, ensuring that individuals have the necessary information to maintain optimal health.
To enable swift and targeted intervention of infectious and transmissible disease our products can be developed with instantaneous geo location tracking software. This would function as a powerful pandemic prevention tool.
Recognising the importance of sexual health, we envisage the deployment of affordable sexual health tests. This would be a system where test results can be shared with healthcare professionals anonymously, ensuring that quantifiable data is collected without any fear of stigma or negative impact on individuals.

Gender equality

End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere
Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making
Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels

Our achievements and aims

We have placed a strong emphasis on developing accessible home-testing products that specifically cater to advancing women’s health.
One of our primary goals is to eliminate the barriers and misunderstandings surrounding women’s health. For instance, we are dedicated to addressing the issue of menopause symptoms often being mistaken for other health conditions. Through the use of our home-health test kits, it is possible to raise awareness about these symptoms and provide coping strategies, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for women.
Within the workforce at éclateral we maintain a gender balanced team. There are equal opportunities for all and we value the contributions of our team members. To further support talent development, we provide paid internships, recognising the significant value that internships bring to our organisation.

Reduce inequalities

By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status

Our achievements and aims

We have created a home-health test kit with a clear mission to address and eliminate inequalities. Our focus has been on designing an easy-to-use, accessible and cost effective device that removes barriers for users, working towards more equal access for everyone.
Please share your thoughts and suggestions with us as we work towards creating a more inclusive and fair future through home-health testing.
