The company is a SaaS provider, and is partnering with commercial, specialty, and hospital labs across the US.

Luminate Health now counts a number of top-150 US labs among its customers, and continues to see a very positive response to its product from both patients and physicians.
Luminate Health is focused on leading the shift toward patient-centric healthcare by engaging patients to actively manage their own health, and leveraging the growing volume of available health data to improve patient care and outcomes.
