Research Report
What is a Patient Scientist?
Patient Scientists contribute samples and health data to help researchers understand how diseases work and improve therapeutic options.
Whether you're living with a condition or you're healthy, your participation advances science.
Your data is de-identified and ImYoo studies are approved by an independent ethics board.
What's the Patient Scientist Role?
To collect self-administered blood samples from home - simple and painless.
1. Receive your kit
We ship everything you need directly to your door.​​​
2. Collect your sample
Follow study guidelines on when and how to collect.​
3. Ship it back
Use the prepaid label and packaging to send your sample back to our lab.
What does ImYoo do with my blood samples?
We analyze your samples using single-cell RNA sequencing to create a molecular snapshot of your immune system.
This data helps researchers understand how diseases progress and why treatments work differently for different people.
​
Process & Biobank
We process your samples in our lab and store them in our biobank for future analyses and research.
Immune Profiling
We create a detailed snapshot of your immune system showing which cells are active and how they're behaving.
Longitudinal Tracking
Collecting over time shows how your immune system changes during flares, treatments, and disease progression.
Advancing Research
Your de-identified data contributes to the development of at-home tests and advancing precision medicine for all.
