Care journeys are complicated and unique to each individual member. “We lead with an AI-Driven approach that brings clinical arms to the home,” said John Criswell, CEO and founder of Porter. “Partnering with ixlayer has enabled Porter's providers to deliver better care from the convenience of a member's home by safely and securely administering Point-of-Care lab collection.

The ixlayer platform allows for easy-to-implement engagement with patients, including reminders to take their prescribed regimen or conduct prescribed diagnostic testing regularly, and offers multi-modality sample selection options, including at-home self-collect and at-home collection-assisted, which enable Porter to encourage complete care for individuals transitioning from hospital to home. ixlayer’s administrative portal also provides real-time data to give payers immediate insight and understanding of their patients’ care journeys, including patient monitoring that provides deeper insights for payers and enables increased patient adherence and engagement. ixlayer’s tests are CLIA Certified and use CAP Accredited labs for trusted sample processing.
