Our mission
We want to make it approachable and honest to explore your own health. That means plain language instead of jargon, no hype and no fear, and a real person to turn to when a result needs explaining. It also means keeping the medicine careful: a licensed prescriber reviews and authorizes every request, and a clinician from the prescriber network can help you understand what your results mean.
Results are information, not a diagnosis. Vytals is not the prescriber and not the lab. We coordinate the experience so that curiosity has a safe, supported path from a question to an answer to a next step.
How the model works
The journey keeps clear roles for clear reasons:
- You build a panel. Using the interactive body, you explore areas of health and assemble a personalized set of tests that reflects what you actually want to learn.
- An independent prescriber authorizes. An independent, licensed BC prescriber reviews your request and, where appropriate, authorizes each requisition for a professional fee. They can decline tests that are not appropriate. Authorization is a clinical decision and is not guaranteed for every test.
- A contracted lab draws and analyzes. A contracted British Columbia laboratory performs the blood draw and the analysis, and you pay the lab for the tests.
- Prescriber-led results. Results return securely into your private portal as trends over time, with plain-language explanations. If you want help, a clinician from the prescriber network can walk you through what they mean.
- Treatment, where it follows. Where a result leads to treatment, that is a decision for a prescriber. Any prescription that follows can be filled at any pharmacy you choose.
This is private testing, not billed to MSP. You see a clear breakdown: a prescriber authorization fee, the lab's test fees, and optional add-ons.
The people
Vytals is founded and led by Arash Pourzare.
Requisitions are authorized by an independent, licensed prescriber, and draws and analysis are performed by a contracted laboratory. These roles are kept separate on purpose, so that clinical decisions rest with the right professional.
Service area
Vytals serves Canada as a private, self-pay platform. Blood draws happen at the partner laboratory's locations. Availability can vary by region, so some tests may not be available to you depending on where you are.
Independent and private
Vytals is an independent company, led by founder and CEO Arash Pourzare. It is fully private and self-pay, and it is not billed to MSP. A licensed prescriber authorizes every requisition, a contracted laboratory performs the draws and analysis, and your results live in your private portal.
