The Challenge

A serious Lack of
Diagnostics Solutions.

Treating an infectious disease begins with identifying it, testing for it. Yet today's frontline healthcare workers (Pharmacists, GPs , Field Services...) lack the proper tools to efficiently and rapidly diagnose most infections.
Instead, the system is simultaneously over-complicated and under-deployed, leaving vast numbers of infections undetected each year.

Gallisa addresses this structural failure by offering frontline healthcare professionals (Pharmacists, GPs, and Emergency Responders) with their own highly accurate and autonomous equipment to test on the spot and immediately deliver actionable results.

Wasted Potential

The training and talent of Pharmacists, GPs and the medical staff is lost by limiting the scope of their actions on their patient's health issues.

Uneven Access

Expensive equipment and the shortage of highly trained specialists lead to uneven access to diagnostics across countries and regions.

Chronic Under-Testing

Testing bottlenecks and prohibitive costs lead to systematic under-reporting, leaving patients untreated or treated too late.

Our Solution

One device,
countless
pathogens.

Gallisa redefines point-of-care diagnostics through an integrated hardware platform and autonomous workflows that bring testing directly to frontline healthcare professionals ( GPs, pharmacists, emergency responders...) without the need for lab infrastructures;  accelerating diagnosis and enabling evidence-based clinical decisions without delay.

Universal Flexible Platform

Single device with interchangeable single-use chemical assays replacing multiple specialised instruments.

PCR-Level Accuracy

With its multi-step process, the platform delivers PCR grade results at near-serology costs.

Autonomous Process & Reporting

Standardized, autonomous workflows eliminating the need for complex operations and minimizing human error.

Testing Pathway

How it works

From sample collection to diagnosis in four steps. No formal laboratory setup or training required. Thanks to the automated test platform coupled with a companion web-app, healthcare professionals and patients can run their tests with ease.

Sample Collection

The patient (or if needed, the healthcare professional) collects a sample using the consumables available in the test kit.

Sample Introduction

The patient places their sample in the proprietary cartridge and inserts it then in the testing equipment.

Automated Processing

The platform processes the sample automatically in 20 minutes then provides the user with an interpreted result.

Reporting

Thanks to the companion web-app, the patient receives a certified medical report to share with their physician.

Lyme Disease:
The Untested Epidemic

Lyme disease is one of Europe's most underestimated public health challenges. Around 43% of the EU population lives in tick-endemic regions, yet the disease remains severely under-reported.

When detection and treatment are delayed, the infection can disseminate across the body, leading to neurological, cardiac, and musculoskeletal complications. Early diagnosis is thus critical.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis:
A rising health concern

Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection spreading across Europe with rising cases. The illness occurs in three phases: non-specific fever, then a symptom-free break, and finally neurological symptoms. This pattern causes delayed diagnosis — patients too often miss the treatable first phase.

Once neurological symptoms appear, progression is rapid and there is no specific antiviral treatment. Early detection is then critical to prevent permanent damage.

Toxic Shock
Syndrome

Toxic shock syndrome is a life-threatening illness caused by bacterial toxins from Staphylococcus. Although not officially reported, TSS affects all ages and demographics.

Exposure occurs through wounds or trauma, but the infection site often shows no visible signs, delaying recognition. Symptoms progress to shock within 24–48 hours. Rapid diagnosis is life-saving, as early antibiotic treatment is critical.
