Babson Diagnostics

We are a science-first healthcare technology company, and we're excited and proud to be reimagining the entire diagnostic blood testing experience. Our mission is to make routine blood testing less invasive, more convenient, and affordable, empowering people to take charge of their health. We're working to bring medically accurate blood testing to convenient locations like retail pharmacies by using patented technologies and a first-of-its-kind ecosystem. This system requires only one-tenth the sample volume of traditional venipuncture methods without sacrificing quality, accuracy, or the breadth of tests we can offer. We believe that blood testing is the best way to monitor and manage health, making up 70% of a patient's medical chart. In the U.S., 14 billion laboratory tests are ordered annually to diagnose and monitor critical medical conditions, yet 40% of people say they avoid doctor-recommended testing for many reasons, including affordability, fear of needles, discomfort, and inconvenience.

Our BetterWay™ blood testing service represents a significant advancement in this essential medical service, providing a patient-preferred experience and enabling high-quality testing in more convenient settings. It uses a small amount of blood—about the size of a pea—from a fingertip. This unique finger collection device, our technology ecosystem, and our state-of-the-art microsample lab eliminate the need for a phlebotomist, needles, and the vials of blood typically required for diagnostic lab testing. We've achieved something that many said could not be done. Our team has worked for years to completely reimagine blood testing to put the customer first. We started with a simple idea—to create blood testing that focuses on the most important element, the customer. Through rigorous, extensive clinical research, we've become a world thought leader in the use of capillary blood for routine testing and have developed technologies representing a new standard in diagnostics. We are named in honor of Art Babson, whose legacy of scientific innovation and excellence is the foundation on which we are built. We look forward to bringing high-quality, affordable lab testing to more communities.
