active role in their healthcare journey

Summary
With this platform, the company
wants to improve the experience of
blood sampling, especially for patients
who have difficulty with conventional
blood draws. The TAP device is particularly
useful in point-of-care settings,
home testing, and for patients requiring
frequent monitoring.
In July 2024, O'Ryan.Health
launched two, parent-led observational
studies involving the in-home collection
of pediatric blood from children.
Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is an
ultra-rare pediatric autoimmune disorder.
O'Ryan partnered with YourBio
Health, enabling parents to safely and
efficiently sample their children's
blood without having to travel to a
medical facility.
YourBioHealth's flagship product, Touch-Activated
Phlebotomy (TAP), is designed for virtually painless and
minimally invasive blood collection. (Credit: YourBio)
The institutional review board approved
study involves healthy children
and children with a JDM diagnosis. Capillary

Nanosensors are poised to change
the future of disease detection by providing
unprecedented accuracy, speed,
and sensitivity in identifying biomarkers
associated with various health conditions.
Operating at the molecular or
atomic scale, these sensors can detect
minuscule changes in biological samples,
which is critical for the early diagnosis
of diseases like cancer, infectious
diseases, and neurological disorders.
The integration of nanosensors into diagnostic
tools allows for noninvasive,
real-time monitoring, paving the way
for personalized medicine. As companies
continue to leverage nanotechnology,
they are enabling more precise and
accessible solutions, ultimately improving
patient outcomes.
