RAISES $21M FUNDING TO HELP FUEL GROWTH
BOSTON, August 31, 2021 – Seventh Sense Biosystems, Inc., developers of the world’s first painless push-button blood collection device, announced today its new corporate name, YourBio Health, Inc., which reflects the company’s focus on putting health information in the hands of the individual. YourBio Health enables individuals to collect a blood sample and receive the results via a secure website from the convenience of home. This easy, painless method allows greater access to and control of one’s personal health data.
Additionally, YourBio Health has recently closed on $21 million in funding from founder Flagship Pioneering, along with Newpath Partners. This investment will accelerate future growth and support forthcoming product launches.
“The rebranding from Seventh Sense to YourBio Health comes at a defining moment in our company’s history and better reflects who we are today,” said Harry Wilcox, Executive Chairman of YourBio Health. “Our plan is to give people access to their biological information in a way that gives them more control over their health decisions. With the movement toward telehealth and personalized medicine, we are well positioned to play our part in shaping the future of healthcare by providing solutions that people want.”
