AUSTIN, TX \/ ACCESS Newswire<\/a> \/ March 31, 2026 \/ BetterWay\u2122 blood testing by Babson Diagnostics, a science-first healthcare technology company transforming diagnostic blood testing, today announced a five-year clinical affiliation agreement with The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing through the city-funded Advancing Mental Health and Emotional Nourishment (AMEN) project. Under this partnership, Babson Diagnostics will provide training in the use of its BetterWay capillary blood collection technology as an integrated component of select undergraduate nursing courses and will supervise outreach events where students perform BetterWay’s fingertip collection for underserved populations. The agreement will acquaint students with important diagnostic technology as they serve their community.<\/p>\n

To date, Babson Diagnostics has already trained 26 UT nursing students to operate its BetterWay blood collection technology-which enables accurate blood testing with a less invasive fingertip collection-as part of an existing relationship through the School of Nursing’s AMEN project. Under the five-year clinical affiliation agreement, BetterWay collection tech training will be required for students enrolled in select courses, including the Public Health Nursing Practicum. In this practicum, 10 currently enrolled students have already completed the training and participated in 3 community outreach events co\u2011sponsored by AMEN.<\/p>\n
