Home Testing

Home testing involves performing medical tests in your own environment, like at home, instead of visiting a healthcare facility. These tests often come with a kit that includes materials and instructions to collect samples—such as saliva, urine, or a finger prick blood sample—and send them to a lab for analysis. Home testing provides convenience, privacy, and quick results for various health conditions, including diabetes, cholesterol, or certain infections. It’s a practical way to monitor health regularly, but it's important to follow instructions carefully and consult a healthcare professional to interpret results and determine next steps.
