Function has acquired Getlabs, a mobile phlebotomy and healthcare services platform, in a move that materially expands its ability to collect diagnostic data from members at home, in offices, and other non-clinic locations across the U.S. The deal is intended to reduce friction in lab testing, broaden access to health data, and deepen the volume and continuity of information feeding Function’s AI-driven Medical Intelligence Lab and longitudinal health platform.

Under the combined model, Function members will be able to choose between visiting more than 2,000 Quest Diagnostics patient service centers or scheduling an at-home or on-site blood draw via Getlabs, with test menus, results interfaces, and clinical guidance remaining consistent regardless of setting. Getlabs’ existing nationwide network of providers and health systems will continue operating with added capital and technology support from Function, including AI-assisted routing tools designed to streamline scheduling, increase on-time visits, and extend service coverage.

CEO and co-founder Jonathan Swerdlin framed the acquisition as core to Function’s strategy of making comprehensive testing and health data ownership independent of geography, transportation access, or work constraints, positioning convenient specimen collection as an access issue rather than mere convenience. Getlabs CEO Claire Hough signaled continuity of mission under Function’s ownership while gaining the scale to reach more phlebotomists, care teams, and providers who depend on remote collection to serve patients.

Function, which offers an annual membership that includes more than 160 lab tests with biannual testing and optional MRI and CT imaging enhanced by FDA-cleared AI, expects the integration of Getlabs to accelerate the shift from episodic, site-based diagnostics to continuous, AI-manageable health data streams. Strategically, the transaction strengthens Function’s infrastructure at the intersection of physical healthcare delivery and software, potentially improving member acquisition and retention, increasing data density for its clinical research efforts, and reinforcing its position in consumer-centric, tech-enabled preventive health across all 50 states and select international imaging locations.
