Teal Health

Telehealth platform with at-home cervical screening

Overview

Teal Health offers an integrated telehealth platform plus an at-home cervical cancer screening kit. It begins with a brief virtual visit and prescription, then sends the Teal Wand self-collection kit to the user’s home, who self-collects a sample and mails it to a certified lab; results are delivered in a patient portal with telehealth follow-up. The Teal Wand is the first FDA-approved at-home self-collection device for cervical cancer screening in the U.S., testing for high-risk HPV with accuracy similar to clinician-collected samples. The company aims to raise cervical cancer screening rates by removing access barriers and making testing convenient for women who are not up-to-date with screening.

Teal Health secured FDA marketing authorization in May 2025 for its breakthrough device addressing a critical gap in women's health care, specifically cervical cancer screening.
