CUPERTINO, Calif. and MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARC Fertility (ARC), a leading provider of fertility and family-forming benefits, has announced a strategic alliance with Sapyen, a pioneer in at-home male fertility testing. This partnership allows employers to offer a convenient fertility testing solution to their male employees and health plan members, addressing a pressing issue as one in six couples struggle to conceive, with 50% of fertility challenges stemming from male factors. Recent studies indicate a concerning global decline in sperm count over the past fifty years.
David Adamson, MD, founder and CEO of ARC Fertility, stated, “Partnering with Sapyen supports our goal of delivering high-quality, cost-effective fertility benefits that enhance employee satisfaction and promote better health outcomes.” He emphasized that the at-home Sapyen fertility test provides a unique and discreet option for male fertility assessments, helping to identify reproductive challenges early, which can minimize costs and increase opportunities for prospective parents.
The Sapyen at-home male fertility Test Kit, available for $149, enables men to perform comprehensive semen analysis from the comfort of their homes. This innovative solution bypasses the need for clinic visits, ensuring privacy and convenience while delivering precise results through certified lab analysis—at a cost lower than traditional methods. The kit features a patent-pending sperm stabilization medium (SPX72) that preserves semen viability for up to 72 hours, ensuring high-quality analysis upon mailing.
Ashwin Ramachandran, founder and CEO of Sapyen, remarked, “Our advanced Test Kit provides unparalleled convenience and accuracy, encouraging men to take the essential first step in understanding their fertility health.” He added that this collaboration with ARC will deliver valuable insights and tailored recommendations to address a critical need in reproductive health.
Additionally, the Sapyen Test Kit supports corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.
Dr. Adamson concluded, “This partnership is dismantling barriers to fertility care, making it more inclusive and accessible. By integrating this innovative solution into our reproductive health services, we empower employers to better support their employees’ health journeys, ultimately leading to a happier and more productive workforce.”
