Alere has a long-standing heritage in Women's Health - we developed the first rapid pregnancy test, ClearBlue, and the first rapid ovulation predictor, ClearPlan. We continue to be recognised as innovators in our field and have recently introduced the Alere Triage PIGF test, for the measurement of Placental Growth Factor in maternal circulation, as an aid in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. At Alere, we believe in connecting you to the smartest diagnostic tools available for pre-eclampsia, preterm labour, and premature rupture of membranes, to help you place the right women onto the right clinical pathway.

Medaphor Scantrainer is a virtual-reality, 'real-feel' ultrasound training simulator which provides curriculum-based training and professional development, independent of a clinical setting. Structure simulator training dramatically increases trainees scanning skills prior to patient contact, removing the need to practice on live patients, and mimimising tutor teaching time in the early learning phase.
