Healthy.io Acquires Labrador Health, Advancing the Future of At-Home Kidney Diagnostics

Published

on

BOSTON, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Healthy.io is excited to announce that it has just signed an agreement to acquire Labrador Health, a startup that has developed a breakthrough technology for quantitative home testing.

This strategic acquisition marks a step forward in Healthy.io’s mission of transforming home-based diagnostics with lab-quality accuracy, powered by the smartphone. By integrating Labrador Health’s technology with Healthy.io’s FDA-cleared and CE-marked suite of products already available globally, the company is poised to launch the next generation of quantitative at-home kidney testing, expanding access to high-quality diagnostics around the world.

The team is already collaborating on developing the first ever quantitative, home-based ACR test – expected to launch in 2026. This home test is designed to tackle the significant global care-gap in Chronic Kidney Disease. With its novel quantitative features, the product will align with existing care-pathways and international reimbursement schemes, while making testing more accessible and routine – enabling earlier detection and better outcomes at scale.

As part of the integration, all Labrador team members will be joining Healthy.io. At the same time, the company is sharpening its focus on scalable, high-impact offerings by realigning internal resources to accelerate commercialization and innovation in its core markets. This renewed focus will support continued growth of Healthy.io’s existing semi-quantitative product while driving the development of next-generation diagnostics enabled by the newly acquired technology.

“This acquisition is about accelerating our mission to deliver clinical-grade testing from the comfort of home,” said Geoffrey Martin, CEO of Healthy.io. “We’re excited to welcome the Labrador team and to build on our shared commitment to improving kidney care.”

“With just $5 million in funding and a small team, we achieved significant technological milestones,” said Yoav Kessler, CEO of Labrador Health. “We knew that partnering with Healthy.io would be the key to taking our innovation to the next level, combining our breakthrough with their scale and expertise to make a truly global impact.”

Addressing the Growing Need for Early Kidney Disease Detection in the U.S.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects over 35 million Americans, yet millions remain undiagnosed. Traditional testing methods often limit access and adherence, especially in at-risk communities. Healthy.io’s at-home semi-quantitative tests have already proven effective in improving access and early detection. The addition of Labrador’s quantitative technology offers even greater clinical insight and empowers better disease management.

A New Chapter in Home-Based Diagnostics

This combination represents a step-change in the accessibility and quality of at-home testing. By uniting Labrador’s innovation with Healthy.io’s computer vision technologies  and operational scale, the companies are poised to redefine how kidney health is monitored and managed—bringing precise, proactive care directly into the hands of patients worldwide.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) has further optimized its exhibition landscape with nine new dedicated product zones, reflecting ongoing structural shifts in global trade and the continued upgrading of China’s export portfolio.

Among the most closely watched additions in Phase 1 are the consumer and agricultural drone zones, both making their debut at the Canton Fair and offering a focused showcase of applications in the low‑altitude economy. The consumer drone zone showcases progress in flight control, AI‑based obstacle avoidance and energy efficiency across imaging, tourism, emergency response and patrol. The agricultural drone zone highlights precision farming, with spraying, seeding and field‑management demonstrations showing terrain‑following, intelligent route planning, and precise payload control.

On day one, a Shandong‑based drone manufacturer welcomed buyers from 30+ countries, with over 50 strong leads. One buyer, after seeing load and wind‑resistance demonstrations, immediately confirmed three sample units and even proposed becoming a regional distributor.

Display technology is another focal point of Phase 1, highlighting advances in color accuracy, energy efficiency, and overall visual performance. Developments in fine‑grained control, expanded color gamut, and reduced power consumption point to a clear trend toward immersive viewing experiences combined with sustainability gains.

The smart wearables zone underscores how intelligent devices are becoming key interfaces for human‑machine interaction. From real‑time language translation and adaptive noise cancellation to long‑term health monitoring and AI‑enabled eyewear, wearables are evolving from standalone products into integrated systems that support communication, well‑being, and productivity across daily and professional settings.

The service robots zone further illustrates how artificial intelligence is moving from conceptual exploration to large‑scale deployment. Advanced robots showcased across industrial, commercial, medical, and public‑service scenarios demonstrate growing autonomy, multi‑sensory perception, and closer human-robot collaboration.

By bringing emerging technologies into clearer focus through dedicated zones, the 139th Canton Fair is reinforcing its function as a platform where trade trends take shape, innovation meets application, and global buyers gain early insights into cutting-edge technologies.

By combining structured clinical intelligence with AI-driven portfolio planning, the partnership gives pharmaceutical teams a faster, clearer way to make high-stakes R&D decisions

SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS, N.J., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OZMOSI, a leading provider of structured pharmaceutical development intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Planview, the leading AI-powered end-to-end platform for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) and Digital Product Delivery (DPD).

By integrating OZMOSI’s machine-readable clinical datasets directly into Planview’s AI-driven portfolio planning platform, external scientific data is now connected to internal R&D planning in one system,  helping pharmaceutical organizations better predict market shifts, prioritize R&D investments, and make faster, more confident decisions.

This integration brings external clinical reality into internal R&D decision-making, so teams can plan based on what’s actually happening, not just on what they hope will happen.

The two organizations combine deep expertise in complementary areas, united by a shared focus on improving the quality and usability of data for strategic decision-making. OZMOSI provides structured, machine-readable intelligence across clinical trials, drug development programs, regulatory activity, and scientific literature, built on a consistent taxonomy that standardizes how data is connected and understood. Planview’s platform enables organizations to model complex investment scenarios, align initiatives with corporate strategy, and optimize resource allocation.

Together, these capabilities give teams a clearer, more complete view of the R&D landscape, grounded in clean, standardized data and strengthened by AI-driven analysis.

“AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it,” said Beau Bush, President and Founder of OZMOSI. “Pharmaceutical organizations have no shortage of data, but too often it’s fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to operationalize. By bringing OZMOSI’s structured data foundation together with Planview’s AI-driven planning capabilities, we’re enabling teams to move beyond disconnected analysis and toward truly integrated, forward-looking decision-making.”

“Strategic planning in pharmaceutical R&D is becoming increasingly dependent on advanced analytics and AI,” said  Louise Allen, Chief Product Officer at Planview. “Integrating OZMOSI’s clinical intelligence into Planview’s platform enables pharmaceutical leaders to make better decisions by combining trusted external data with AI-driven planning

OZMOSI’s dataset spans more than 800,000 clinical trials, over 35,000 drugs, and 4,000 diseases and conditions. It brings together insights from clinical trial registries, regulatory filings, scientific literature, company disclosures, and industry announcements into a unified, structured dataset.

When integrated into Planview’s platform, this intelligence enables pharmaceutical and biotech organizations to evaluate competitive landscapes, identify emerging clinical trends, and simulate portfolio outcomes with unprecedented precision.

Together, OZMOSI and Planview are redefining how pharmaceutical organizations approach R&D strategy, ensuring that investment decisions are guided by accurate, standardized, and AI-ready data. By combining internal portfolio visibility with a continuously updated external view of the market, the partnership helps leaders not only understand what they have, but what to do next.
