Everlywell is building a world where everyone can access insightful and life-changing lab tests. Millions of Americans each year avoid traditional lab testing due to high costs, unknown costs, lack of convenience, or some combination of both. Over seven billion lab tests are run annually in the United States, and lab testing is used in 70 percent of medical diagnoses. However, the traditional lab testing process is cumbersome, costly and confusing. Everlywell’s digital platform connects consumers with certified labs for at-­home collection tests that are ordered and reviewed by board­-certified physicians. Once the sample is submitted, online results with evidence -based insights, suggestions and next steps are provided to consumers within days. Everlywell now offers over 30 panels, including tests for Fertility, Cholesterol, Heart Health, STIs, Lyme Disease, Testosterone, Thyroid and more. Founded in 2015 by Julia Cheek, the Austin-based company is advised by a Scientific Advisory Board that includes some of the nation's top scientists from Harvard, MIT, Google and NYU.
