Wearable and At-Home health monitoring with silicon photonic chips
We are developing a new paradigm for consumer health tech wearables by replacing a 100lb optical instrument with an area of silicon smaller than a postage stamp.
SiPhox Health offers at-home, painless blood testing with silicon photonic chips, delivering biomarker results and a personalized action plan without lab visits. Tests are quick, results arrive in 7–10 days, and there is a membership model that includes test panels and tracking insights.
Users perform a 5-minute at-home biomarker test, selecting a panel each testing session. Samples are processed by CLIA-certified labs with expert review, and results are presented as clear, easy-to-understand insights. A personalized action plan is generated based on results, with the option to retest to track biomarker changes over time. The platform includes trend tracking, baseline establishment, and guidance for lifestyle or dietary adjustments, plus access to a membership that bundles test panels is included with testing.
Who it’s for: Individuals seeking at-home biomarker testing and a personalized health plan, particularly those interested in cardiometabolic, thyroid, hormone, and overall health monitoring.

At-home health testing is too expensive and slow. We’re fixing that.
SiPhox builds at-home blood testing hardware using silicon photonic chips; they launch Quantify, a mail-in test kit service that tracks 17 health tests plus wearable data in a dashboard, with plans to include hardware in 2024. It targets individuals seeking affordable, regular biomarker tracking to manage health and reduce chronic disease risk.
