Everything you need to cover Sensa Wellness. Company background, founder bio, key facts, press coverage, and media contact, all in one place.
Sensa Wellness makes a simple, at-home saliva wellness kit that measures C-reactive protein (CRP), a key biomarker of systemic inflammation. No needles, no clinic visits, no waiting days for results. Using a saliva sample and a lateral flow format similar to a home pregnancy test, Sensa delivers a CRP reading in roughly 15 minutes. The company was founded in 2025 by Ryan Robinson, a quantum physicist and Harvard Graduate School of Education alumnus, with a mission to make inflammation monitoring as accessible as stepping on a scale. Sensa is headquartered in Boston and its kits are available at sensawellness.org.
Background information on Ryan Robinson, founder of Sensa Wellness.
Ryan Robinson is a quantum physicist, educator, and entrepreneur whose career has spanned the frontiers of physics and public health. He is the founder of Sensa Wellness, an at-home CRP testing company he launched in 2025 with a single conviction: that access to meaningful health data should not require a doctor's order or a lab visit.
Robinson holds advanced training in quantum physics and spent years working at MIT, where he taught and helped design curriculum at the intersection of science, technology, and human understanding. In 2026, he graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), deepening his commitment to the belief that scientific innovation only fulfills its potential when it is communicated in ways that are genuinely accessible to the people it is meant to serve.
The founding of Sensa reflects both sides of Robinson's background. The science behind the product draws on rigorous immunology and biomarker research. The design philosophy draws on his education work: meet people where they are, remove barriers, and make the knowledge usable. Under his leadership, Sensa has grown from a single product concept into a company with a library of more than 80 peer-reviewed-informed articles on inflammation science and a growing community of people actively monitoring their health at home.
Core facts and figures about Sensa Wellness and the inflammation monitoring space.
Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's, kidney disease, and chronic lower respiratory disease all share chronic inflammation as a contributing driver. Yet most people have no way to monitor their inflammation outside a clinical setting.
Before Sensa, checking your CRP required a physician's order, a phlebotomist, a laboratory, and days of waiting, followed by a bill. The process created a practical barrier that made routine inflammation monitoring unrealistic for most people.
The Sensa kit uses a lateral flow assay to detect CRP in saliva. No needles, no lab, no prescription. Users collect a saliva sample at home and read their result in approximately 15 minutes, comparable to the experience of using an at-home COVID or pregnancy test.
Sensa has built one of the most comprehensive freely available libraries of inflammation education online, covering topics from sleep and diet to chronic disease, longevity, autoimmune conditions, and hormonal health, each grounded in published research.
