Azoi is a company that makes medical devices for consumers. The company was founded in 2011 by Hamish Patel,[1] Juned Munshi and Ami Karnik.[2] It is based in San Francisco.[3] A prototype of Azoi’s first product, Wello, was unveiled when the company launched on March 6, 2014.[4]

Wello is an iPhone cover with built-in circuitry and sensors that is able to track a variety of vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen level, body temperature and ECG.[5] Lung function can also be measured using an add-on spirograph, which clips onto the side of the case using magnets.[5] The thin[6] case connects to an iPhone via Bluetooth 4.0 in order to send the data it collects to a companion mobile app,[7] which presents a user’s vital statistics as a set of numbers and graphs, charting daily, weekly and monthly readings.[5] The technology for Wello is contained in a removable card. On the day that Wello was announced, Azoi opened pre-orders in United States as well as Canada, China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom and across the EU.[8]

The product received a positive response by technology experts such as TechCrunch's Darrell Etherington, who noted that 'of all the health tracking gadgets out there, Wello looks to be the first that offers a more comprehensive look at your internal workings in a package that’s incredibly convenient and portable'.[6] A number of press articles, including those by The Daily Telegraph[4] and Daily Mail,[9] compared Wello to the Tricorder - a device used by medical staff in Star Trek to remotely scan patients for a diagnosis.

Azoi operates in the rapidly growing digital health market. Investment in digital health startups reached $1.97 billion in 2013, a 39 percent growth from 2012.[10]
