HARDWARE
FOR A MORE
HUMAN FUTURE.

Real electronics. Thoughtful interfaces. An open-ended pursuit of useful, accessible sensing technology—beginning with X1.

INSIDE THE BUILD

LESS PROMISE.
MORE PROTOTYPE.

We don't just explain the hardware. We let you inspect the decisions behind it. Scroll through the process, then interact with the board itself.

CHAPTER 01 / THE PROTOTYPE

START WITH REAL HARDWARE.

The early physical X1 is built to test the interaction itself: how a person holds it, starts a scan and understands the result.

MEET X1
CHAPTER 02 / THE ELECTRONICS

THEN GO DEEPER.

A custom circuit board brings the sensing, processing and product layout into a more compact hardware direction.

VIEW THE HARDWARE
CHAPTER 03 / THE EXPERIENCE

MAKE DATA LEGIBLE.

The screen and workflow should explain what is happening during a scan, instead of asking users to interpret raw signals.

EXPLORE THE WORKFLOW
CHAPTER 04 / THE NEXT TEST

PROVE IT BEFORE CLAIMING IT.

Repeatability, reference comparisons and real-world constraints come before any clinical or diagnostic promise.

Prototype journey

Real hardware before loud claims.

Pixxivo X1 is being built carefully: physical prototype, PCB iteration, software workflow, and then responsible validation.

Pixxivo prototype
01 / Working rough build

Not perfect. Real.

The first X1 build helped test the form, scanning workflow, and product direction.

Pixxivo PCB render
02 / Custom hardware

Cleaner PCB direction.

A smaller board path for cleaner electronics and a better product body.

03 / Next

Validation-first system.

Collect cleaner readings, compare responsibly, and improve the model layer.

From prototype wiring to a custom PCB, design decisions become visible in copper, connectors and layout constraints.

Why it matters

Useful health tools should not feel unreachable.

01

No consumables direction

Pixxivo explores a future where frequent checks do not need strips every time.

02

Friendly hardware

The product needs to feel simple, portable, and less scary for normal people.

03

Validation-led

Every serious claim needs careful comparison and responsible data collection.

BEHIND PIXXIVO / 01

BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO BUILDS.

Hi, I’m Prateek Shukla — the student maker and founder behind Pixxivo. I work across hardware, firmware and software, and I started Pixxivo to explore whether ambitious sensing ideas can become useful, understandable real devices.

It’s early. The work is hands-on, the questions are real, and the progress belongs in the open.
