The new membership combines at-home blood testing, personalised health plans, and repeat testing to help members track health changes over time.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 12 October 2026: Aden, a precision health company backed by US$2 million in seed funding, is launching in the UAE this October with a membership designed to help people better understand their health beyond a single blood test.
The service starts with an at home blood draw that measures more than 125 biomarkers across key body systems. Members receive their results in about 48 hours, along with a personalised health protocol that highlights the areas that need attention first.
But Aden’s approach does not stop at the first set of results. After six months, members take another test to see how their health data has changed. Aden uses this information to update their health protocol and help them understand whether their efforts are making a difference.
The company also plans to bring more health data into one place over time. Future additions are expected to include genetics, microbiome analysis, body composition and VOâ‚‚ max measurements. Together, these data points aim to give members a broader view of their biology and how it changes over time.
“I think most people get a blood test, look at a page of numbers and don’t really know what to do with it,” said Sarah Cronin, PhD, founder and CEO of Aden. “What they actually want to know is what needs attention and whether the changes they’re making are working. That’s the bit we care about.”
A focus on prevention and long term health
Aden is entering the UAE market as the country puts more focus on disease prevention and earlier risk identification. Non communicable diseases account for nearly 77% of deaths in the UAE, while metabolic and cardiovascular conditions remain major health challenges.
The country is also investing in longevity and precision medicine. Initiatives range from the Dubai Longevity Authority to Abu Dhabi programmes focused on health data and personalised healthcare.
For Aden, this creates an opportunity to help people take a more active role in understanding their health.
“There are real health challenges here, but also a willingness to approach them differently,” Cronin said. “That combination matters to us. We want to help people understand their biology earlier and build a clearer picture of how their health changes over time.”
Following its UAE launch, Aden plans to expand into other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets and global wellness hubs.
