Ontario's First PHIPA-Compliant Specimen Logistics Platform.
We deliver biological specimens from clinics to laboratories with documented chain-of-custody, temperature-verified cold chain, and a 90-minute STAT target, built for a healthcare system that cannot afford to lose a result

The Gap No One Talks About.
Every day, specimens leave Ontario clinics in the hands of couriers with no privacy agreement, no temperature monitoring, and no accountability. When a specimen is rejected or degraded in transit, the clinic has no record of what happened, and the patient has to come back for another draw. Sometimes that patient is a pregnant mother waiting on a prenatal result. This isn’t hypothetical: up to 70% of laboratory errors occur in the pre-analytical phase, including collection, handling, and transport.¹

Zero Audit Trail
Standard couriers treat blood samples like office documents. Without a PHIPA-compliant chain of custody, your institution is legally exposed.
Thermal Degradation
Unregulated transport vehicles lack active cold-chain verification. If it wasn't logged, you can't prove the specimen was viable on arrival.
The STAT Illusion
"As soon as possible" is not a service level agreement. Clinical decisions rely on deterministic logistics, not optimistic guesswork.
What we built instead
DareMed isn't just a courier, it's a technology-enabled logistics infrastructure designed to exceed the highest standards of healthcare.
Compliant by Design (PHIPA, TDG)
Every client receives a written PHIPA Agent Schedule before their first pickup. Every driver is TDG Class 6.2 certified. Every cold-chain specimen is logged with a verified temperature record from pickup to delivery.
Accountable by Default
Every specimen is barcode-scanned at pickup and at delivery, creating an immutable chain-of- custody record. No more 'did it arrive?' phone calls. No more mystery rejections.
Connected by DareMed Connect
Our technology platform, DareMed Connect, turns every delivery into structured health data, built on HL7 FHIR R4, the same global standard used by hospitals and health systems worldwide. Real- time tracking. Turnaround time analytics. Data your clinic has never had before.
Stop Wondering If Your Specimens Arrived.
Transition your institution to a modern logistics infrastructure. No more lost vials. No more temperature uncertainty.
