Our technology analyses wastewater to detect the presence of pathogens in real-time. This allows you to identify potential health threats before symptoms appear in individuals, enabling early intervention and prevention.
Containing the illnesses of today and preventing the pandemics of tomorrow
Our Story
Untap Health was born out of a desire to disrupt the way we live with illness. It’s long been accepted that catching viruses is just part of life, spreading silently through workforces, schools, and families. But we believe that’s no longer necessary. With 40% of people likely to be immunocompromised at some point in their lives, protecting our most vulnerable and their families is more important than ever. Untap Health exists to change this paradigm.
We developed our groundbreaking technology to ensure workplaces, care homes, and hospitals are the healthiest environments possible. Our mission is simple: to give individuals and organisations the autonomy to understand health risks in real-time and take action before illness spreads. We believe in empowering people to protect themselves and those around them, so that illness doesn’t have to be part and parcel of daily life. Together, we can make proactive health measures the norm, ensuring a safer, healthier future for everyone.
