Fellow Health, a leading company focused on advancing male reproductive health through patient-centric testing solutions, today announced nine studies to be presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) 2026 Scientific Congress & Expo, taking place October 24–28, at the Baltimore Convention Center. The studies draw on data from the company’s nationwide mail-in semen analysis platform, which processes more than 450 patient samples a day.

“Semen analysis has traditionally been used to assess fertility, but it can also tell us a lot about a man’s overall health,” said James F. Smith, MD, MS, Chief Medical Officer and NYS Laboratory Director at Fellow Health. “Because men can collect a sample at home instead of going to a clinic, more of them are able to get tested, which makes access to care more equitable and gives us the scale to study male reproductive health across large populations.”
