BOSTON, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- O'Ryan.Health, a
leader in at-home pediatric healthcare innovation, today announced
it has become the first US company to launch two, parent-led
observational studies "The Healthy Kids Study" and "The JDM Study,"
involving the in-home collection of pediatric blood from children.
Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is an ultra-rare pediatric
autoimmune disorder. These studies, made possible through a
partnership with YourBio Health, a pioneer in capillary blood
sampling, allow parents to safely and efficiently sample their
children's blood without having to travel to a medical
facility.

"Today marks 'one giant leap,' for pediatric healthcare, opening
doors to those who have previously been overlooked in the world of
health research," said Dr. Tim
Coleman, COO and Co-founder, O'Ryan.Health. "We understand
the challenges families face with distant research sites, which is
why we've pioneered a method with YourBio Health's TAP devices that
allows for blood sample collection right from the safety and
comfort of home."
The institutional review board approved study involves healthy
children and children with a JDM diagnosis. Capillary blood is
drawn on a predetermined schedule using virtually painless TAP
Micro devices. Guided by animated Superhero Scientists and comic
book "mission reports" of their results, children take an active
role in their healthcare journey and learn about their immune
health.
"We are thrilled to partner with O'Ryan.Health in pioneering
at-home, decentralized studies for children with JMD and healthy
children alike," said Paul Owen,
President and CEO, YourBio Health. "Through O'Ryan.Health's
approach with TAP devices, more families and children can access
and join groundbreaking research."
