During Sample Collection

A phlebotomist, lab technician, or affiliate partner will confirm your identity and consent before drawing your sample.

Data Use & Research Consent

You will have the option to provide separate consent for your anonymized data to be used in clinical research or product development.

Important Limitations

Persona Biomed tests are intended as diagnostic support tools and do not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a licensed physician.

By providing consent, you acknowledge that results are for informational and clinical support purposes and must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider.
