Sanguina, a US-based anaemia monitoring app producer, spun out of Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology on Tuesday.

The app was invented by Wilbur Lam, an associate professor at Georgia Tech’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and Emory’s Department of Paediatrics, together with his assistants Rob Mannino and Erika Tyburski.
