Astek Diagnostics was founded by Mustafa Al-Adhami, PhD, inspired by his grandfather's experience with a urinary tract infection (UTI). Al-Adhami saw the pressing need for a more efficient and accurate diagnostic solution, leading him to create the Jiddu Analyzer, designed to deliver rapid antibiotic sensitivity testing within one hour.
The company began its journey in 2021, when Al-Adhami outlined his vision for a one-hour antibiotic sensitivity test. Over the next year, Astek Diagnostics focused on developing its first prototype, recognizing that the issue was widespread and affected many beyond Al-Adhami’s personal experience. The high incidence of UTIs, especially among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and post-menopausal individuals, highlighted the urgent necessity for innovation in this field.
