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.
