Odisha-based healthtech startup BabyCue Private Limited has won first prize at the Tribal Business Conclave Open Grand Challenge with its rapid diagnostic test DiaCue, which distinguishes bacterial from non-bacterial infections in children under five. The startup's journey to develop DiaCue began with fieldwork in rural Odisha, where the team identified a gap in diagnostic tools for healthcare workers.
DiaCue's point-of-care test delivers results in 15 to 20 minutes and does not require complex laboratory equipment or cold-chain storage, making it more accessible for underserved communities. The startup received a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh from President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi.
