The laboratories we use to help you get tested are CLIA-certified and many are CAP-accredited, which means they must meet or exceed high precision, accuracy, and validity standards, obtain both state and federal certifications, and submit themselves to regular inspections as well as independent third-party performance verifications.
Our collection methods are effective, well-established, and easy to do at home. We only offer collection methods that meet rigorous standards for reliability, stability, and validity for use in at-home collection.
It’s a common misconception that labs need entire vials of blood to run one or more tests. In reality, many common tests can be done with only a small amount of blood, and there is often a large amount of wasted and unused sample left after testing is complete.
For each test, our medical team curates the biomarkers we think are the most useful and applicable to providing the health insights you care about. These test results are meant to help you understand your health and well-being, and to provide you with data and options to make dietary or lifestyle changes. Our tests are generally the same tests that your physician orders, and are supported by independent, peer-reviewed research.
We always encourage sharing your Everlywell results with your healthcare provider. You can print or email a “doctor friendly” version of your results in a format that your physician is used to seeing when normally reviewing lab results. Our tests provide personalized information and education that empowers you to be more involved with and educated about your own health. But, our tests are not intended to diagnose diseases (with the exception of our STD test offerings). You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you have regarding your medical care.
Everlywell conducts original clinical research to inform the medical and scientific community, engage customers in their healthcare journey, and further our understanding of how our community utilizes our products to improve their health and wellness. Our research is guided by the latest approaches to nutrition, heart health, gender-specific wellness, and sexual wellness. We incorporate clinical and data science best practices to understand complex, real world data.
Everlywell is not only the market leader in the consumer-initiated, at-home collection lab testing space, but we also strive to be a thought leader in the clinical community. For our published research, we always anonymize, de-identify and aggregate data. We seek supplemental data from our customers for more qualitative aspects on an opt-in, voluntary basis only. Customer information is only shared with the third-party lab and physicians that are part of our testing process. Under no circumstance do we ever sell our customers' data, and we use state-of-the-art, bank grade encryption to ensure data security. Check out our full privacy policy for more details.
