Trellis Health Launches First At-Home Postpartum Lab Test to Transform Recovery for New Mothers

via Business Wire

This New Offering Delivers Comprehensive Health Insights, Changing How Postpartum Care is Delivered

Trellis Health, a digital health platform designed to empower women with personalized, proactive care, today launches a first-of-its-kind postpartum lab panel intentionally designed for whole-health recovery. With an FDA cleared at-home blood collection device, and a curated biomarker panel covering hormones, thyroid, inflammation, nutrient levels, cardiovascular health and organ function, Trellis is providing new mothers with personalized data during the most critical, and often overlooked recovery after birth.

For decades, postpartum care in the U.S. has been neglected, even though 1 in 3 women experience complications in the year following birth. As a result, women frequently develop thyroid issues, heart disease, and Vitamin D deficiency, increasing the risk for anxiety, depression, and fatigue which is viewed as the norm for new moms. The reality is, there haven’t been the proper tools or tests to mitigate those postpartum experiences. With the six-week postpartum visit often being the only scheduled check-in, many women lack meaningful data or guidance until symptoms become chronic issues. When that visit finally comes, there’s no lab work, no baseline data, and no clear picture of how their body is healing. The symptoms and hardships that are associated with motherhood, are actually caused by health not being properly tested and treated after one of the most intense health journeys during a person’s lifetime.

Recognizing the need to fill this gap, Trellis is putting data directly into the hands of patients, encouraging shared decision-making between the individual and their doctor. Trellis is changing reactive health to proactive health, and ensuring the longevity of women. When women can see and understand what’s happening in their bodies, they’re empowered to ask better questions, make more informed choices, and advocate for real recovery.

The Trellis Postpartum Panel delivers science- and medical-backed insights into how key systems in your body are recovering, encompassing everything from liver and kidney function to hormonal balance and inflammation. Collected from home in just thirty minutes, users receive results ahead of the six-week visit, empowering more informed and productive conversations with their provider. The test includes biomarkers such as ferritin, cortisol, vitamin D, hsCRP, insulin, and thyroid hormones, all processed in validated assays in a CLIA-certified, and CAP-accredited lab with the FDA-cleared Tasso device that has been used in Phase I, II and III clinical trials for years. The panel also tests for bone, blood, and metabolic health.

"Women tend to live longer but often spend more time in poor health, not at the end of their life, but scattered throughout years of “not feeling quite right”, dramatically intersecting with pregnancy and postpartum,” said Dr Estelle Giraud, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Trellis Health. “At Trellis we’re building a future where all women have a deep understanding of their bodies, and are supported in optimizing their own health and recovery in real time, radically shifting the statistics on women’s health and longevity.”

Unlike hormone-only or single-nutrient tests on the market, Trellis offers the most comprehensive, at-home postpartum panel available today. Members can do it from their couch while a baby sleeps, and without needing tightly scheduled appointments or travel. The panel captures a complete picture of recovery across inflammation, nutrients, organ function, hormone balance, and cardiometabolic health. No other test offers this level of depth, personalization, or medical relevance for the postpartum experience.

This launch is a major milestone in the growing movement toward personalized, preventative maternal care. It comes on the heels of Trellis’s platform launch for iOS, giving women and families the richest, most comprehensive picture of their health. With at-home diagnostics on the rise and consumer expectations climbing, Trellis is meeting women where they are, at home, informed, and ready to lead their own care, shifting away from reactive models and toward proactive, patient-led solutions.
