Everlywell has developed 30+ at-home health test kits for sexually transmitted infections, women’s health, vitamin levels, allergies, Covid-19, and more.
Getting lab tests completed can be a time-consuming and costly process within some countries. For people without local access to medical care, getting lab tests done when required can be challenging. Some patients avoid getting certain tests done because they are uncomfortable discussing their concern with their healthcare provider. During the current Covid-19 pandemic, attending for face-to-face appointments has been appropriately limited due to social distancing and attempting to avoid virus transmission.
Remote healthcare is playing an increasingly important role in primary care. Being able to access prescriptions and consultations without leaving home is one way that healthcare systems are evolving to treat people while utilising modern technology. However, telemedicine does have some limitations – One being the ability to do traditional investigations that are usually undertaken in clinics.
People in the United States can obtain over 30 different health and wellness testing kits on Everlywell. Patients purchase their desired tests on the website. Once they receive the kit, they follow the simple instructions to collect a sample and drop it in the mail. Results are available within days on the secure platform, which patients can choose to share with their healthcare provider.
There is a range of at-home health tests available covering various wellbeing aspects and diseases. STD tests, including Chlamydia and HIV, are available. People can test their levels of vitamin B, D or folic acid. They also provide food sensitivity tests along with diabetic, covid-19, cholesterol and thyroid investigations. Their current subscription option of $24.99 a month allows a customer to get one test of their choice every month.
Providing more at-home options for meeting healthcare needs can empower patients to take control of their health while making healthcare safer and easier to access. Thanks to the remote nature of health testing at home, it may encourage people to get tested for diseases or health conditions they may have avoided discussing with their doctor.
