flag A new FDA-approved hepatitis C test, developed by Northwestern University, enables same-day diagnosis and treatment with 100% accuracy.

flag A new 15-minute hepatitis C test developed by Northwestern University, approved by the FDA in June 2024, enables same-day diagnosis and treatment during a single clinic visit. flag Using a repurposed point-of-care device originally designed for COVID-19, the test is up to 75% faster than previous rapid tests and has been independently validated with 100% accuracy in matching lab results. flag The innovation eliminates delays from sending samples to off-site labs, potentially boosting treatment rates and supporting global efforts to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030. flag The findings were published on December 10, 2025, in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
