Blood testing
made easy

Now there's an alternative to the big needle
What to expect Banner
Blood testing is one of the most impactful things you can do to improve and maintain your health.

We've created a service that delivers consistent, quality testing with a simple poke of the finger using a small amount of blood - about the size of a pea. We’ve made it convenient, accurate and trusted.
We call it BetterWay

What makes BetterWay so great?

Imagine going to your local pharmacy for a blood test. Having a small amount of blood taken from your finger instead of tubes from your arm. Then getting medically accurate results delivered to your clinician and to you in a day or two. That’s blood testing the BetterWay.
