YourBio Health offers the TAP device, a touch‑activated, bladeless microneedle system that draws capillary whole blood without a conventional needle. The device delivers up to standard‑tube volumes in about two minutes, is FDA 510(k) cleared and CE‑marked, and integrates cloud‑based sample‑tracking for real‑time data capture. It enables painless, high‑frequency sampling for clinical‑trial sponsors, diagnostic laboratories, and point‑of‑care providers such as pediatric and fertility clinics.

Problem
Patients often avoid or delay medical care because traditional venipuncture and finger‑stick blood draws cause pain, anxiety, and logistical barriers, especially for children, the elderly, and individuals requiring frequent sampling.
Solution
YourBio Health’s TAP device leverages proprietary HALO™ technology—a bladeless microneedle array—to collect capillary whole blood without a conventional needle. The touch‑activated phlebotomy mechanism initiates a virtually painless draw in roughly two minutes, producing volumes sufficient for standard laboratory analysis. FDA 510(k) clearance and CE marking certify the device for clinical use, enabling deployment in clinics, home‑based settings, and decentralized clinical trials. Integrated sample‑tracking software links each collection to a secure cloud platform, facilitating real‑time data capture and streamlined logistics for sponsors and laboratories. By eliminating needle‑related discomfort and simplifying logistics, the TAP system improves patient compliance and expands access to diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring.
Target Audience
Primary customers include clinical‑trial sponsors, diagnostic laboratories, and healthcare providers (e.g., pediatric clinics, fertility centers, home‑health services) that require frequent, low‑pain blood sampling for patients.
