Founded in 2016 by experienced MedTech entrepreneurs Patti White and Peter Galen, Hemex Health was established with a clear mission: to make accurate, affordable, and accessible diagnostic testing available to healthcare providers around the world, especially in underserved communities.
From its inception, the company worked closely with clinicians, public health experts, and leading academic institutions to identify critical healthcare challenges and develop innovative diagnostic technologies that address real-world needs. This collaborative approach has enabled Hemex Health to create practical, high-quality point-of-care solutions that improve access to timely diagnosis and patient care.
One of the company’s flagship innovations is the Gazelle® Reader, an advanced point-of-care diagnostic system that has been successfully deployed in more than 40 countries. With thousands of analyzers installed and millions of tests performed, Gazelle has become a trusted solution for healthcare professionals worldwide, supporting the diagnosis and management of conditions such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other blood disorders.
Through its partnership with Pinecrest Healthcare Ltd., Hemex Health’s innovative diagnostic solutions are available to healthcare facilities across Nigeria, backed by excellent application / user training, technical support, and dedicated after-sales service.
