Long doctor visits. Painful procedures. Wasted personal time. We’re tired of it. And our gut instinct tells us that you are too. Using the power of tears and science, Auria allows us to experience the easier way to screen for breast cancer. You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops for answers. That’s why we’re delivering them to your door.

Is Auria for me?
Auria is intended for women ages 30 and over. Auria is for all bodies & all breasts: dense breasts, implants, screening avoidant, or lack of access. For more information on whether you are a good candidate for Auria, visit our About Auria page.
Auria is not intended for women with an unevaluated palpable mass or area of concern in their breast tissue. It is also not intended for women who no longer have breast tissue.
Clinical data is not yet available for patients who are currently being treated for breast cancer, have been recently diagnosed with cancer, or are being monitored for reoccurrence.
Current data only supports biological females at birth with breast tissue. Upcoming clinical trials with our LGBTQIA+ community and biological males at birth is underway to expand Auria’s availability.
How accurate is Auria?
Auria has a sensitivity of 92% which means out of 100 women with breast cancer, Auria would classify 92 of those women as clinically significant (or above the diagnostic threshold); the remaining 8 are identified as negative.
Auria has a specificity of 58%, which means out of 100 normal women, Auria would classify 58 of them as negative.
We have preferentially selected our algorithm to have a higher sensitivity in order to reduce the number of missed cancers (i.e. false negatives). As with all lab-developed tests, continued use of our assay will allow for optimization of the diagnostic parameters.
Is the Auria test painful?
The sample strip is a thin piece of filter paper that is commonly used to test for dry eye. Typically, once the strip begins to get wet, the slight irritation goes away.
In a survey conducted with over 400 individuals, the average reported pain scored after using the sample strip was 1.4 out of 10; with 0 being no pain/discomfort and 10 being intense pain/discomfort.
Take control of your breast health.
