Pluslife Founder Zhou Songyang Named to the 2026 TIME100 Health List

TIME has named Zhou Songyang, founder of Pluslife, to the 2026 TIME100 Health list.

TIME highlighted Pluslife’s breakthrough in tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics, recognizing the development of a rapid tongue swab TB test that delivers results in under 30 minutes using a portable, palm-sized testing device (Pluslife MiniDock). This innovation addresses critical TB diagnostic gaps in resource-limited settings and gained significant global momentum in 2025 following its approval for procurement by the Global Fund.

At Pluslife, Prof. Songyang leads our team in translating scientific innovation into high-performance diagnostics that are fast, affordable, and accessible for real-world care—driving progress toward global health equity.
