Our History

The Beginning

KiHealth was founded in 2023 with a simple but bold vision: to transform healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. Inspired by personal experiences with chronic and neurodegenerative diseases in their own family, the founders set out to create diagnostic tools that could detect disease earlier—long before traditional lab tests would raise a flag.

Building the Science

Grounded in science developed at leading universities, KiHealth’s early work centered on measuring cell-free DNA and epigenetic markers that reveal stress and injury to insulin-producing beta cells. This novel approach opened a new window into metabolic health and positioned KiHealth at the forefront of diabetes prevention diagnostics. At the same time, the company expanded into gut health and autoimmune risk testing, partnering to develop comprehensive assays that assess digestion, absorption, inflammation, infections, and microbiome balance—all from accessible at-home kits.

Growth and Partnerships

In 2024, KiHealth entered a strategic partnership with Genova Diagnostics to make advanced gut health testing more accessible to patients and providers nationwide. These collaborations accelerated the company’s mission of bringing cutting-edge science into everyday healthcare, allowing clinicians and consumers alike to access insights once limited to academic research labs.

Recognition and Impact

By 2025, KiHealth’s innovation was recognized on the global stage. At the American Diabetes Association’s 85th Scientific Sessions, the company received the Innovation of the Year Award for its groundbreaking diabetes diagnostic technology—an honor likened to “winning the Super Bowl” in the field of diabetes research. This milestone underscored not only the company’s scientific credibility but also its potential to reshape preventive healthcare.

Looking Ahead

Today, KiHealth continues to grow as a CLIA-certified laboratory and a leader in preventive diagnostics. With a portfolio spanning metabolic, autoimmune, and gut health testing, the company is helping physicians, patients, and families live longer, healthier lives. Its story is one of science, innovation, and personal commitment—driven by the belief that prevention is the most powerful medicine.
