Healthcare starts with knowing.
Your health is personal. But getting answers isn’t always easy.
Too often, understanding what is happening inside our bodies means waiting weeks for appointments, referrals or results. We believe there should be a simpler way, one where everyone has the knowledge and confidence to take control of their health, whenever they need it.
At Newfoundland, we’re making healthcare more accessible by bringing accurate, easy-to-use health testing into the home.
Detect.Understand.Take action.
Our mission is simple: to help people understand their health earlier.
From fertility and sexual health to nutrition, organ health and everyday wellbeing, our tests provide clear insights in minutes, helping you make informed decisions about your health and know when it’s time to speak with a healthcare professional.
Because the earlier you understand what’s happening inside your body, the sooner you can take action.
Built around people, powered by science.
We combine medical expertise, innovative technology and thoughtful design to create testing experiences that are simple, reliable and accessible for everyone.
Healthcare shouldn’t feel complicated or intimidating. That’s why we focus on making every step easier, from choosing the right test, to collecting your sample, to understanding your results.
Meet the founders
A belief that healthcare should be easier to access.
Newfoundland was founded by Michael Hodnett and Frederick Manduca with a simple ambition: to make healthcare more accessible, proactive and personal.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike and Freddy saw first-hand how powerful accessible testing could be. Millions of people were able to take control of their health decisions through simple, reliable tests, but they also saw the bigger opportunity. Why should understanding our health only happen when we are unwell, waiting for an appointment, or facing long delays?
They believed there had to be a better way.
That belief became Newfoundland.

Changing the way we think about healthcare.
Mike and Freddy set out to build a company that puts health information into people’s hands. By combining medical science, technology and thoughtful design, Newfoundland creates simple at-home tests that help people understand their health earlier and take action sooner.
From fertility and sexual health to nutrition, chronic conditions and preventative screening, Newfoundland is building a future where monitoring your health becomes a normal part of everyday life.
Built on purpose, driven by people.
For Mike and Freddy, Newfoundland has always been about more than tests. It’s about removing the barriers that stop people from taking control of their health, whether that’s inconvenience, uncertainty, cost or simply not knowing where to start.
Their vision is to create a world where everyone has the tools and confidence to better understand their body, have more informed conversations with healthcare professionals and make decisions earlier.
Healthcare shouldn’t start when something goes wrong.
It should start with knowing.
