NHS Problem:

Building capacity in the NHS. 8.4 million GP appointments every year for UTI symptoms  costing £450 million. The government has announced the intention for 2.5 million uncomplicated UTI to be managed in pharmacy saving £37 million. This may result in patients being referred incorrectly resulting in a  bad experience due to lack of triaging between complicated and uncomplicated UTI, patients could end up being redirected back to the GP. TestCard in-app healthcare questionnaire sorts to address this enabling a seamless patient pathway, receiving treatment from the right healthcare provider at the right time. 

Solution:

TestCard converts a digital device into a clinical grade scanner to read and interpret colorimetry and lateral flow diagnostic tests providing clear, accurate results and analite data. Integrated into healthcare systems allows results to be triaged and information shared to patient records. In a healthcare setting, together with our ClearScreen portal, results are immediately updated to the patient record reducing admin, errors, repeated tests, and better infection control.
