Making diagnostics and disease-prevention technology affordable and accessible for everyone.

Lucentia is a small, independent non-profit research team (a German gemeinnützige GmbH). We build open-source tools, publish research, and unlock proprietary hardware so that the technology to detect and prevent disease isn't gated behind high prices or closed software.
