Tiny Health and Rupa Health Team Up to Transform Preventative Care
2024年6月26日 - 9:30PM
Tiny Health, the first at-home gut microbiome test for babies, and
Rupa Health, the platform leader in specialty laboratory testing,
have announced a partnership to expand access to comprehensive
at-home microbiome testing to Rupa’s vast network of health
practitioners, with a shared mission to transform preventative
care, address health issues at the root cause, and improve health
outcomes of future generations.
“We are in a pediatric chronic conditions crisis, with nearly 1
in 2 children having at least one chronic condition. Identifying
and correcting microbiome imbalances within a child’s first 1,000
days—a crucial time in their immune development—has been shown to
help families avert or even reverse these conditions,” said Cheryl
Sew Hoy, CEO of Tiny Health. “We’re excited to partner with Rupa
Health to support practitioners in their quest to offer better
preventative care.”
Through the partnership, Tiny Health Gut Health Tests, PRO Gut
Health Tests, and Vaginal Tests are now available to Rupa’s
extensive network of practitioners across the U.S., adding to the
800+ health practitioners already using Tiny Health for their
clients and patients. The move compounds the growth of Tiny
Health’s B2B arm, Powered by Tiny, a platform expanding
microbiome-based solutions through clinical trials, practitioner
and research partnerships, and co-branded gut and vaginal testing
kits.
Rupa Health is an innovator in laboratory testing transparency.
The Rupa platform brings together 30+ lab companies with 3000+
tests in a single interface for healthcare practitioners to order,
manage, track, and get results. It also creates a modern and
seamless digital experience for patients.
“We’re strong supporters of root cause medicine, and mounting
evidence points to the gut microbiome’s role in shaping overall
health. By offering Tiny Health’s innovative microbiome tests on
the Rupa platform, we can advance preventative care and early
interventions," said Rupa's CEO and Co-Founder, Tara Viswanathan.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Tiny Health to enhance our
network and serve providers and patients through every stage of
life.”
Tiny Health is the most comprehensive at-home gut and vaginal
microbiome test for families. Harnessing the power of deep shotgun
metagenomic sequencing, the company’s tests identify over 120,000
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoan parasites—down to a 0.05%
relative abundance—and include probiotic strain tracking,
age-specific insights and condition associations, and the potential
to uncover microbiome risks for chronic conditions like eczema and
allergies.
“Through this partnership, practitioners and the families they
serve can access the latest microbiome science now and take action
when it matters most. Not 10 years later,” said Sew Hoy.
