What YourBio Health does
YourBio Health is a Medford, Massachusetts-based medical device company that develops and commercializes the TAP (Touch-Activated Phlebotomy) family of virtually painless blood collection devices, built on its proprietary HALO (HAllow Optic) bladeless microneedle array technology. Founded in 2011 by Flagship Pioneering (originally as Seventh Sense Biosystems, rebranded in August 2021), the company targets three primary use cases: decentralized clinical trials for biopharmaceutical sponsors, fertility and frequent-monitoring applications in healthcare provider settings, and OEM-embedded consumer wellness and diagnostic products. Its product portfolio includes TAP II (CE Marked, 2021), TAP Micro Select (FDA 510(k) cleared April 2023 and CE Marked October 2023, collecting up to 500µL of capillary whole blood), and supporting services.
The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer device sales through its website, an OEM/embedded licensing model (flagship partner Myriad Genetics has consumed over 500,000 TAP devices supporting 1M+ SneakPeek tests since 2021), and enterprise sales to clinical trial sponsors, academic medical centers (Columbia University Fertility Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital), and substance-use monitoring and pediatric research partners (RecoveryTrek, O'Ryan.Health). Revenue streams are hardware sales, technology licensing/royalties, and clinical trial services. Pricing for individual consumer tests has been disclosed at £99.99 for the UK COVID-19 antibody service, but broader device and licensing pricing is not publicly disclosed.
YourBio Health raised over $80 million in cumulative funding, led by Flagship Pioneering with participation from Newpath Partners, LabCorp, Novartis, Polaris Partners, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In December 2025, Hims & Hers Health announced a definitive agreement to acquire YourBio Health to bring TAP/HALO blood sampling in-house for its consumer diagnostics platform; the deal is reported as expected to close in early 2026, with one source indicating completion on February 24, 2026.

YourBio Health competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Spot On Sciences: Spot On Sciences developed HemaSpot, a dried blood spot collection device used for at-home sample collection in clinical trials and population health studies. It is a direct competitor in the remote blood sampling category overlapping with YourBio's clinical trial and consumer testing applications.
- Capitainer: Capitainer is a Swedish developer of qDBS dried blood spot sampling devices for at-home blood collection. It serves clinical research, therapeutic drug monitoring, and population health, competing directly with YourBio for decentralized trial and remote patient sampling contracts.
- Tasso: Tasso is a direct competitor offering at-home capillary blood collection devices using microneedle technology for clinical research, decentralized trials, and patient-centric sampling. Both companies target the same decentralized clinical trial and consumer diagnostics use cases with virtually painless blood draw alternatives to venipuncture.
- Trajan Scientific and Medical (Neoteryx): Trajan Scientific acquired Neoteryx, maker of Mitra microsampling devices that enable volumetric dried blood spot collection at home. Mitra is a competing remote/microsampling solution used in clinical trials and at-home testing, comparable in end-use and customer base to YourBio's TAP products.
Broad incumbents
- Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp): LabCorp is a major clinical laboratory network that processes diagnostic blood samples and was also a past investor in Seventh Sense Biosystems / YourBio Health. It sits at the downstream lab services layer of the value chain that YourBio's TAP devices feed into.
- Becton Dickinson: Becton Dickinson is the dominant incumbent in blood collection devices, including capillary and venous sampling systems used in hospitals, labs, and clinical trials. YourBio's Chief Growth Officer Thomas Briggs previously led BD's Emerging Specimen Management Business, underscoring the strategic overlap and BD's role as a broad competitor in the specimen collection space.
- Sarstedt: Sarstedt is a major manufacturer of blood collection systems, capillary sampling devices, and laboratory consumables. As a broad incumbent with established distribution in hospitals and labs, it represents a conventional incumbent alternative to YourBio's decentralized TAP solution.
- Quest Diagnostics: Quest Diagnostics is one of the largest clinical laboratory services companies, processing blood samples for diagnostic testing. While it does not manufacture collection devices, its lab services are the downstream destination for YourBio's TAP-collected samples, making it an adjacent incumbent in the value chain.
- Greiner Bio-One: Greiner Bio-One manufactures blood collection tubes and vacuum-based phlebotomy systems widely used in clinical laboratories and diagnostics. As a broad incumbent in the specimen collection category, it competes with YourBio for hospital and diagnostic lab relationships.
Emerging players
- Babson Diagnostics: Babson Diagnostics is developing fingertip blood collection and analytics for routine diagnostic testing at retail pharmacy locations. It overlaps with YourBio in the at-home and pharmacy-based diagnostic testing space, though it focuses on retail pharmacy channels rather than direct-to-consumer and clinical trials.
