September 21, 2021 11:19 AM EDT

Cue Health (NASDAQ: HLTH) is set to launch its U.S. IPO later this week. The IPO will be available for investors on the RobinHood IPO access platform, among other brokerages. The company calls itself a Healthcare 2.0 company that puts consumers in control of their health information and places diagnostic information at the center of care. Cue Health launched its first diagnostic test for use with its Cue Health Monitoring System in 2020 with its COVID-19 Test Kit. The COVID-19 test was authorized by two Emergency Use Authorizations, or EUAs, from the FDA for point-of-care and over-the-counter and at-home use. The product represents all of the company's revenue at this point. The company is looking to expand its Cue system to many other categories, including the flu.
