TestAtRest robots take medical samples at drive-thru stations

Image
StartupRealities No 34 TestAtRest is a drive-thru medical testing company which uses robots to take samples from customers at specially-designed drive-through stations. Customers don't need to leave their car to give a sample, e.g. a mouth swab. Instead, a robotic arm in a disposable sanitary cover leans over through the car window and customers are merely required to follow the verbal instructions of the robot. CEO QUOTE "The idea for TestAtRest came out of necessity during the Covid-19 (coronavirus) epidemic in early 2020," said company founder and CEO Tess Rosso. "But even in normal times it saves a lot of time for nurses and other medical practitioners who would be more needed for other activities that require their human expertise. A robot would actually be more reliable for this type of task as it is unlikely to mix up sample labels, which unfortunately sometimes happens with human staff," noted Rosso.

Image
StartupRealities No 99 SponsorGodfather is an advertising and public relations firm which links up corporations with expectant parents who would like to name their child after the corporation in return for an annual sponsorship fee. The options are giving the child a middle name which is the company's exact name, or giving the child a first name which is similar to the company's name. The sponsored children and their parents are free to legally stop using the company name and change the child's name at any time, upon which the sponsorship payments get terminated. CEO QUOTE "You know the phrase 'give a dog a bad name.' Well, our firm does exactly the opposite: we give a child a good corporate name. Some parents are concerned that their child may get bullied by other children if they have a name like CocaCola Smith or Amazon Jones. On the other hand, the corporate name creates a community: the Amazons of Chicago, the Amazons of New York, etc., so it is a gre...
