Function was founded with a singular focus: empower you to live 100 healthy years.
We know a fulfilling life depends on health, and health depends on awareness. You are the source of your truth and we are here to enrich you with the deepest awareness of what is happening within you. We start by bringing together routine whole body lab testing and the world’s top doctors. It is our first step in helping you pursue a lifetime of avoiding disease and feeling your best.
Across the Function team, we have each had health challenges shape our lives. We’ve experienced healthcare’s shortcomings juxtaposed with the brilliance of medicine. It inspires us to remove complexity, place exponential health technologies in your hands, and put privacy first. Our unwavering commitment is to empower you to own your ever-changing health. Function is all about you.
