YourBio Health

"Even in the best of hands, blood draws are, at a minimum, an inconvenience, and for many patients?could actually be a big source of stress, discomfort, anxiety. ? This is the first application of this type of technology in clinical care, anywhere.?And I think in many ways, this might give us a little bit of a view to the future, where, for so much of care, we can look at how we can make the process easier for patients." ____ We're proud to partner with Zev Williams and the Columbia University Irving Medical Center to provide virtually pain-free blood collection for their fertility patients. [This is] one of several innovations they're undertaking to improve the quality of care and the overall patient experience. #ClinicalCare #OneTapAtATime #PatientExperience

Our CEO Paul Owen recently shared his vision for how YourBio Health is transforming the future of blood collection with the Flagship Pioneering team. You can read more from Paul below: ‘Beyond the immediate discomfort, the fear of blood collection can have lasting effects. Many children associate doctor visits with pain, leading to avoidance of routine check-ups and necessary tests. In fact, studies show that early traumatic medical experiences can contribute to lifelong needle phobia, making future healthcare interactions even more difficult. The need for a pain-free, anxiety-free solution is clear. If we can transform blood collection for children, we can improve compliance, streamline clinical workflows, and make doctor visits less stressful for families. That’s why YourBio Health is focused on developing a device that offers a gentler, faster, and more effective approach to blood collection. #flagshipfounded #bloodcollection #healthtech

We couldn’t be prouder to call Paul Owen our CEO and to be a member of the Flagship Pioneering team.

“Every one of the individuals I brought in I've worked with in the past, in one capacity or another,” Paul Owen told Fierce Medtech in an interview. “They know all the different aspects of this space. I feel like having an experienced team of individuals running an organization like YourBio Health is really kind of unprecedented.” “They’re already used to it in the laboratory, they already understand using capillary blood as a regular part of their practice,” he said. “So we’re not trying to change anything—other than the fact that the way most of the blood collected today is either by venous draw, or through a finger prick or through a heel prick.” “And if you think about the experience—I'm a grandfather now, but I've had to take my own children to the doctor—nobody likes that process. So it's a win-win-win for all of the individuals involved.” ____ Our team at YourBio Health couldn't be more proud to introduce a few new members of the YourBio Health leadership team - including Paul Owen, Michael Mina, MD, PhD, Chet Robson, DO, MHCDS, FAAFP & Thomas Briggs.

O'Ryan Therapeutics Launches Groundbreaking Parent-Led Pediatric Studies Utilizing YourBio Health’s TAP Capillary Blood Sampling Devices Today O'Ryan Therapeutics announced it had become the first US company to launch two, parent-led observational studies involving the in-home collection of pediatric blood from children suffering from Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM), an ultra-rare pediatric autoimmune disorder, and healthy children. The studies utilize virtually painless TAP Micro devices for capillary blood sampling on a predetermined schedule in addition to event-driven sampling. The two IRB-approved studies, entitled "The Healthy Kids Study” and “The JDM Study,” empower children along with their families to learn more about their immune health. Guided by animated Superhero Scientists and comic book “mission reports” of their results, children learn about their immune health in an engaging way. “Today marks ‘one giant leap,’ for pediatric healthcare, opening doors to those who have previously been overlooked in the world of health research,” said Dr. Tim Coleman, COO and Co-founder, O'Ryan Therapeutics. “We understand the challenges families face with distant research sites, which is why we’ve pioneered a method with YourBio Health’s TAP devices that allows for blood sample collection right from the safety and comfort of home.” ??
