Crazy enough to give up everything to build the Tuli startup. Have two rabbits named Cotton and Bud. When not working, I would probably be doing something related to art. I identify myself as generation 1.5, as I'm both British and Chinese at heart. I love good conversations over a coffee and female-led startups will always get my "hurrah".

We're Jiawei and Jialu of Tuli Health (https://tuli.health/). We let people get medical diagnostics quickly and safely in a pharmacy close to home, instead of going to a hospital. We're based in the UK.

I have a MD PhD from University College London, and Jialu has been a software engineer for the past 10 years. We’ve lived in London for a decade and while we appreciate the NHS, we also wished for a world where we could walk down the street to get healthcare. This is what we're building.

Instead of travelling a long distance and waiting a long time to receive diagnostic tests, customers can now receive diagnostic tests from their local pharmacies, just around the corner from where they live.

There are 11,000 independent pharmacies in the UK. Our software makes it easy for them to sell and fulfill Covid-19 tests. These same pharmacies have just started selling allergy tests as well.

We offer easy-to-use software for the pharmacies to register and manage patients for diagnostic tests. We are currently used by over 150 pharmacies. The link to the dashboard is https://portal.tuli.health. A user can sign up as an end customer or a pharmacy.

Covid has led to changes in our user behaviour. Many services have now become hyper-localised. Covid tests led to the pharmacies delivering the first diagnostic tests. In the future, other diagnostic tests will also be available: STI, , biochemistry profile, gluten intolerance... Hopefully things will get easier and more accessible. We look forward to your questions and feedback!
