- Business
- Cue Health Inc. previously operated as a healthcare technology firm, dedicated to delivering accessible and individualized diagnostic capabilities to both consumers and medical professionals. The company's core offering, the Cue Health platform, enabled access to lab-standard diagnostic tests in various settings, including at-home and point-of-care, complemented by on-demand virtual consultations and treatment pathways for diverse health and wellness requirements. Its comprehensive Cue Integrated Care platform was comprised of several key elements: a hardware component known as the Cue Health Monitoring System, which featured a portable, reusable Cue Reader, specialized single-use Cue Cartridges, and a Cue Wand for sample collection; a software solution called the Cue Data and Innovation Layer, offering cloud-based data management and analytical tools; Cue Virtual Care Delivery Applications, encompassing the Cue Health App and Cue Enterprise Dashboard; and Cue Ecosystem Integrations, designed for connectivity with electronic medical record systems, pharmacies, last-mile delivery services, clinician networks, and laboratories. Initially, a significant part of its business revolved around COVID-19 testing kits, with plans for broader diagnostic applications. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Diego, California, the company was initially known as Cue Inc. before adopting the name Cue Health Inc. in December 2017. However, facing significant challenges, including a heavy reliance on COVID-19 testing and an inability to pivot post-pandemic, Cue Health Inc., along with its affiliated entities, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on May 28, 2024. This action followed the cessation of its operations and the layoff of its remaining workforce and executive team. Prior to the bankruptcy, the company had also received a warning from the Nasdaq regarding non-compliance, indicating an expected delisting of its common stock.
