Reshaping Healthcare

A paper by Spitzenverband Digitale Gesundheitsversorgung* highlights the transformative potential of low-threshold laboratory diagnostics like home testing. Integrated with digital infrastructure, these services become powerful tools for early disease detection and improved patient access to diagnostics.

This approach paves the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and prevention-focused healthcare system-tackling rising chronic illnesses, staff shortages, and long waiting times. The paper identifies three key priorities:

Easier Access to Preventive Blood Sampling

Patients often endure multiple visits and long waits for health checks. Home testing kits simplify the process, enabling quick and easy sample collection.

Expanding Blood Tests Beyond Clinics

Blood draws are largely confined to medical practices, creating delays and inefficiencies. Shifting to non-clinical settings and hybrid patient pathways can save time and resources.

Fully Digital IT Integration

Communication around lab results still relies on outdated paper forms. Digitalizing these systems maximises the impact of accessible lab services.

At Physikit, we specialise in developing home testing solutions and integrating them seamlessly into digital patient journeys.
