Rise and Potential of At-Home Diagnostic Tools

06 Dec | by Unimrkt Healthcare  
    Unimrkt Healthcare » Blog » Rise and Potential of At-Home Diagnostic Tools

At-home testing is a modern-day concept in the healthcare industry that gained momentum during the Covid-19 pandemic. Owing to their convenience, at-home diagnostic kits have emerged as a revolutionary solution to monitor the presence of various diseases, which is why the stakeholders in the healthcare industry are stressing the need to optimize existing working mechanisms/products. This calls for an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of the industry such as identifying locations with sizable markets and distributors to make the product accessible in remote areas. Unimrkt Healthcare, a leading healthcare market research company, provides you precise and actionable insights to help you manage new endeavors, optimize existing solutions, and mitigate potential risks. Read on as we discuss the rise and potential of at-home testing kits.

Overview

At-home testing kits, also known as direct access or direct-to-consumer or consumer-initiated or patient-authorized testing or home use tests, are portable and easy-to-use confirmatory medical kits allowing the user to determine the presence of various underlying health complications and conditions such as fluctuating blood sugar levels, fecal occult blood (for colon cancer), pregnancy and contagious diseases (Covid-19). With traditional testing methodologies becoming obsolete, at-home testing is a promising solution that eliminate redundancies such as setting aside time to consult a doctor. Healthcare businesses need to partner with a proven healthcare market research company to evaluate their competitiveness and chart a way to optimize their products that resonate with the growing requirements of populations of all ages.

Types of At-Home Testing Kits

Hundreds of home testing kits are available for confirming the presence of various health complications and conditions. These include:

Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOB Test)

This testing kit checks for the presence of blood in the stool to identify the signs of colon cancer. The user collects small samples of their stool, places them in a container or on a special card, seals it, and sends it to the lab.

Hepatitis C Test

This test helps to determine the presence of hepatitis C now or in the past, and the testing procedure is the same as the glucose test.
As more diagnostic tests shift to at-home testing methods, businesses in the healthcare sector will need to partner with a healthcare market research company that deploys a balanced approach of both qualitative and quantitative research methods to identify new opportunities and improve product offerings.

Pregnancy Test

The pregnancy test kit checks the presence of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), a glycoprotein that is exclusively secreted by females during pregnancy. The user is required to place the testing strip in a cup filled with their urine, or align the strip with the urine stream. A confirmation is indicated by displaying a double or colored line or a plus symbol.

Benefits of At-Home Testing Kits

At-home kits can be used without the prescription of a general physician and are renowned for providing quick results, eliminating redundancies such as booking an appointment with a doctor and waiting days to receive test reports. As mentioned earlier, at-home test kits present a great way to conduct different diagnosis at the earliest, allowing users to take appropriate steps to receive the necessary help. At-home testing kits are convenient for users (patients can cut down on travel time and transportation expenses), increase patient engagement to provide physicians with a better perspective about underlying complications, and are cost-effective.

Ways to Implement At-Home Testing

The benefits of at-home testing are not only limited to users, businesses (across industries) can utilize its ease of use to engage in health & community welfare outreach programs for employees in the form of biometric screening for various contagious diseases such as Covid-19. It will also cut down on costs at various stages in a medical coverage package due to reduced operational costs. This, however, calls for the effective optimization of testing kits suitable for an individual’s requirements, especially for the Fob test. It is advisable to consult a leading healthcare market research agency that can enable you to acquire actionable insights into the rapidly-evolving needs of users.

Final Word

As at-home testing kits progressively transform the healthcare industry (5.3% global CAGR from 2021 to 2028). Healthcare research companies are uniquely placed to help businesses optimize their at-home testing kit offerings to be market-ready and adapt to changing user needs. Unimrkt Healthcare provides insights that give businesses a holistic understanding of the industry by leveraging the latest market research methodologies.
