Globalbit

Globalbit is an Israeli custom software development company. This page is a case study about savyon-diagnostics (HealthTech & Computer Vision). Globalbit built the on-device computer vision SDK that turns any smartphone into a clinical-grade home test reader. Embedded inside Israel's largest hospital and HMO patient apps. Reads COVID-19, pregnancy, and ovulation tests with medical-grade accuracy. No cloud round-trip — results in seconds, complete privacy. Used for millions of COVID tests at national scale. On-device computer vision SDK embedded in major Israeli hospital and HMO apps. Reads COVID-19, pregnancy, and ovulation tests. Medical-grade accuracy on consumer phones. No cloud round-trip — instant results with complete privacy. Trained on thousands of real-world photos across devices and lighting conditions. New test types added in weeks. HIPAA-aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 security. Used for national-scale COVID testing.

Multi-Test

COVID-19, pregnancy, ovulation — each with its own trained model

Globalbit built savyon-diagnostics' computer vision mobile SDK that turns any smartphone into a medical test reader. The SDK runs inside existing hospital and HMO apps, reading COVID, pregnancy, and ovulation tests with lab-grade accuracy using on-device computer vision.

A Camera That Reads What Your Eyes Can't

Home diagnostic tests became widely available, yet healthcare providers lacked a reliable way to verify patient-reported results. Clinical decisions require documented, traceable data, not verbal confirmation. Without verifiable proof, home testing remained disconnected from formal medical workflows.

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

Home Tests Are Everywhere. Accurate Results Are Not.

Rapid tests changed healthcare by putting diagnosis in people's hands. But a test is only useful if you read it right, record it properly, and get it to the people who need to see it. That's where most home tests still fail.

  • -No Verifiable Medical ProofPatient-reported results lack clinical validation. Doctors, HMOs, and public health authorities require documented evidence with timestamps and traceability before acting on diagnostic data.
  • -Home Tests Outside the Medical RecordTraditional test strips generate no structured digital output. Results could not be securely stored, audited, or integrated into electronic medical records and national health systems.
  • -Adoption Depends on Existing PlatformsHospitals and HMOs already operate large-scale patient applications. The solution needed to function as an embedded SDK within trusted healthcare apps, not as a new standalone product.
  • -Clinical-Grade Accuracy in Real-World ConditionsComputer vision models had to perform reliably across diverse devices, lighting conditions, and user behavior. Diagnostic accuracy needed to remain consistent outside laboratory environments.

"Savyon's goal was simple: make every smartphone a diagnostic reader. Not with a new app nobody downloads, but inside the apps patients already have — their hospital's, their HMO's, their doctor's."

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Point. Scan. Know.

Three steps, under 30 seconds. From opening a test kit to a verified digital result on your phone.

[ 01 ]

Point your camera at the test

The SDK opens the phone's camera and guides the patient to position the test strip correctly. Real-time visual cues ensure consistent capture quality across devices and lighting conditions.
[ 02 ]

Computer vision analyzes the result

The CV engine detects control and test lines, measures signal intensity, and determines whether the result is positive, negative, or invalid. Accuracy is maintained across phone models and test brands.
[ 03 ]

Clear, validated result in seconds

The patient receives an unambiguous result with contextual guidance. The outcome is converted into structured digital data, ready for medical use.
[ 04 ]

Clinics receive verified data instantly

The result is transmitted securely into the healthcare provider’s system in real time. Doctors receive timestamped, validated diagnostic data directly inside their existing medical platforms.

[ WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT ]

An Invisible Engine Inside the App You Already Use.

The SDK doesn't compete with hospital apps — it makes them smarter. No separate download, no new account, no friction.

Embedded Inside Existing Health Apps

The SDK integrates directly into hospital and HMO applications. No new downloads, no new user acquisition. Medical centers keep their brand, their patient relationship, and add diagnostic scanning through simple API integration.

New Tests Added in Weeks

The architecture allows rapid onboarding of additional diagnostic kits. Each new test receives a dedicated trained model, enabling fast expansion across test types without rebuilding the platform.

No More WhatsApp Photos

Instead of blurry images sent over messaging apps, every scan generates structured, validated diagnostic data directly inside the healthcare system.

Built for Regulated Healthcare

Designed under HIPAA-aligned processes and ISO/IEC 27001 security governance. Encrypted transmission, audit-ready logging, and secure medical data handling are embedded into the core architecture.
[ UNDER THE HOOD ]

Computer Vision That Works in Real Kitchens

The difference between a CV demo and a production SDK: it has to work on every phone, in every lighting, with the kind of photos real people actually take.

[ 01 ]

Everything runs on the phone

No cloud round-trip. The CV model processes images locally, so results appear instantly, no data leaves the device during scanning, and it works without internet. Privacy and speed at the same time.
[ 02 ]

Trained on messy real-world photos

We trained the model on thousands of test images taken in real conditions: dim bathrooms, fluorescent kitchens, old Androids, cracked screens. The model had to work where people actually take tests, not where engineers test software.
[ 03 ]

Medical-grade data handling

Diagnostic results are health data. End-to-end encryption, secure local storage, and compliance-ready data flows. Integration partners control exactly where patient data goes.

[ RESULTS ]

From Home Test to Trusted Medical Record

A simple scan on a phone now becomes verified clinical data, securely delivered into the healthcare systems doctors rely on every day.

Inside Israel's biggest health apps

The SDK runs inside the patient apps of major Israeli medical centers and HMOs — reaching millions of people through apps they already use every day.

Test results people can actually trust

No more squinting at faint lines. Patients get a clear answer from the same computer vision that powers lab-grade readers, running on their own phone.

Home tests that count as records

Every result is digital, shareable, and verifiable. Doctors can see it, health authorities can verify it, and patients can store it. The era of unverifiable home tests is over.

COVID testing at national scale

During the pandemic, the SDK let millions of Israelis self-test with verified digital results — for work, travel, and public health tracking. Mass testing that the government could actually count.
