Verv Technologies is a Sudbury-based medical technology startup company, specializing in the delivery of in home consumer blood testing. A simple finger prick of blood is collected into a disposable test cartridge, inserted into the Verv analyzer, and via an App your smartphone relays the results to you in minutes.
Established in 2012, Verv’s mission to change the way consumers access and conduct blood testing has resulted in patent-pending technology that will enable consumers with the ability to test their blood in their home, a solution that is inexpensive, accessible, and simple enough for anyone to use.
Verv’s goal is to empower consumers to take control of their health, anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Within 15 minutes people will have accurate results in their hands, in the safety and convenience of their own home.”
The company polled more than a thousand people across North America asking their opinion on monitoring and controlling testing aspects of their health and wellness. Overwhelmingly, a large majority of those asked said they want more in-home health care.
The survey identified the following:
● 76% of people said COVID-19 has made them more aware of their health;
● 69% of people said COVID-19 has made them more interested in managing their health from home using new services and technologies;

“Companies like Verv are leading the way in biotechnology and innovation,” says Don Duval, CEO NORCAT and co-managing partner of the Sudbury Catalyst Fund. “This is technology that defines consumer empowered health care, and that’s where the demand is now, especially post-COIVD-19. It’s an exciting time and we’re equally excited to be part of Verv’s upward trajectory.”
