Our Story
Sample Assist is an innovative Australian medical technology startup based at the Innovation Campus at the University of Wollongong.
Our journey in MedTech began in 2021 when our founder, Heath Cooper, faced a crucial question: How can we protect patient privacy while making the collection of biological samples more secure, efficient, affordable, and safe?
Sample Assist was our answer to this challenge.
Fast forward to today, and the award-winning Sample Assist digital platform seamlessly connects doctors, patients, collectors, collection centres, health providers, laboratories, employers, and employees through a single, secure online platform. Our solution serves the global workplace drug testing and pre-employment medical assessment markets.
Sample Assist remains at the forefront of innovation in occupational health.
