Something as simple as a piece of paper can have a significant impact on modern healthcare.
Dried blood spot (DBS) cards are a prime example-just a small drop of blood on a special card can unlock a wealth of information about our health, all without the need to visit a lab. These microsampling devices have been used for decades in newborn screening, enabling early detection of conditions when treatment is most effective.
Today, DBS cards are empowering people of all ages to take charge of their health. Whether it's monitoring vitamin levels, hormone balance, or other vital biomarkers, these tools are compact, easy to use, and require only a small amount of blood-a major advancement for home testing.
Who would have imagined that such a simple tool could make healthcare more accessible and convenient for so many?
