Allora Health Inc. d/b/a Evvy (“Evvy”) provides a platform and services to empower women and people with vaginas with information and resources for personal wellness and care. Our services include access to the Evvy website and personal testing services, including the collection and analysis of biological samples. Evvy is not intended for emergencies or mental health crisis situations. If you are experiencing an emergency should dial 911 immediately and notify and relevant authorities. For mental health crisis situations, dial 988.
Using the sample collection kits (“Kits”), our customers collect biological samples (a “Sample” or “Samples”) and submit them to Evvy and its partners for testing and analysis. These Samples are subjected to a testing process that generates sample data ("Sample Data"). Sample Data together with customer-provided information are analyzed using Evvy’s proprietary technology to generate your unique test results (“Test Results”) that Evvy will use to send you personalized recommendations to optimize your health via the Evvy website located at www.evvy.com, the web application at my.evvy.com, email, and other methods.
Evvy does not provide clinical services or lab review services. Clinical services and lab review services are provided by Wheel Medical, P.A. and its affiliated clinicians (“Wheel Provider Group”), an independent entity not affiliated with Evvy. By requesting clinical services and lab review services, you agree that your relationship to Wheel Provider Group is independent and is governed by Wheel Provider Group’s Terms of Use.You understand that when you pay up-front for a test or prescription, you will be required to accept certain consents and provide certain information upon receipt of the test or prescription order for Wheel Provider Group [and/or Evvy Provider Group] to conduct a visit. If you do not accept such consents or provide such information, you will not be eligible to receive services from Wheel Health Group. If you request clinical services and lab review services from Wheel Provider Group and an affiliated clinician writes a prescription, the prescription must be filled by one of Evvy’s compounding pharmacy partners due to the unique components of the prescribed medications. You are not required to request clinical services or lab review services through Evvy or from Wheel Provider Group. If you would prefer to have your primary care provider provide clinical services and lab review services, please share your test results and personalized recommendations with your primary care provider.
EVVY CONTRACTS WITH AN INDEPENDENT CLINICAL LABORATORY TO PERFORM TESTING SERVICES AND AN INDEPENDENT HEALTH CARE PROVIDER GROUP TO PROVIDE CLINICAL SERVICES. EVVY IS NOT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE OR CLAIM TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE OR ILLNESS.
