How It Works

Offer patients a more comfortable testing experience

Clinically validated analysis powered by
Fellow's innovative mail-in kit.§

Our process is peer-reviewed to provide clinically valid results for samples produced up to 52 hours before they reach our lab. Our proprietary algorithm accounts for sperm's natural rate of degradation over time, allowing us to calculate a sample's metrics just as accurately as if it had been produced and analyzed within 1 hour of ejaculation.

Clinically validated accuracy

Fellow's validation study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Fertility and Sterility, demonstrated the accuracy of the Fellow test. Our mail-in semen analysis testing system has a strong degree of correlation between 1-hour and delayed SA testing. This test may be used in clinical practice to evaluate semen quality for fertility evaluations.

Independently reviewed

An independent review of our validation study noted the benefits of Fellow 's accurate mail-in test:"The ability to perform at-home semen analyses testing has numerous clinical and patient implications, including reducing patient anxiety, improving convenience, and potentially the ability to see higher levels of patient compliance"—Thomas A. Masterson, M.D. & Premal Patel, M.D.

Our Vision

We see a routine test as a potential
canary in a coal mine

With patient consent, each test contributes to a biobank of semen samples that can be used to yield breakthroughs across medical disciplines.

Success Stories

Helping hundreds of providers move patient care forward

1 of 9
As a high-volume vasectomy provider, Fellow post-vasectomy testing is the perfect solution for my patients as well as my practice. My patients are now able to complete their post-vasectomy semen analysis from the privacy of their own home, thereby increasing patient compliance. Once they complete testing, Fellow sends results to both me and my patient, decreasing the call volume into my practice previously required to communicate results.
David Robbins, MDUrologist at Urological Consultants of Florida, Miami, FL
