Sprinter Health

Sprinter Health is an on-demand mobile health and diagnostics company that brings personalized and affordable healthcare services to patients' homes. Founded in 2021, the company sends nurses and phlebotomists, known as "Sprinters," to conduct various healthcare services including blood draws, vitals checks, Covid-19 testing, electrocardiograms, diabetic eye exams, and diabetic foot screenings. Sprinter Health's platform allows patients to book appointments through an app and receive real-time notifications about their provider's arrival. The company aims to make healthcare interactions as convenient as ordering food delivery, with features like online booking, fasting reminders, and follow-up care instructions.

Sprinter Health's technology platform streamlines the logistics of at-home care delivery, reducing barriers to necessary care and improving patient engagement. The company's model is designed to complement virtual care services, enabling a hybrid approach that combines the convenience of telehealth with essential in-person diagnostic services. By bringing these services directly to patients, Sprinter Health helps healthcare providers make more efficient use of clinic capacity and gather critical patient data between in-person visits.

As of 2023, Sprinter Health operates in several areas including the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The company employs a full-time staff of nurses and phlebotomists, which it believes leads to more consistent service and better patient outcomes. Sprinter Health's business model involves partnerships with specialty labs, insurers, providers, and employers to integrate its services into existing care pathways.

Key customers and partnerships

Sprinter Health has established partnerships with various healthcare organizations to expand access to its services. In April 2023, the company partnered with Story Health to bring elevated healthcare into the homes of patients with heart disease, initially serving patients in Utah.

In November 2022, Sprinter Health collaborated with Firefly Health, a virtual-first care innovator, to offer hybrid care to patients in the Boston area. This partnership aims to improve access to care while saving downstream costs by integrating Sprinter Health's in-home clinical services into Firefly Health's virtual primary care model.

Another significant partnership was formed in February 2022 with Naveris, a molecular diagnostics company. This collaboration aims to improve the detection, treatment, and clinical management of HPV-driven cancers by facilitating at-home blood draws for Naveris' NavDx cancer blood test.
