Internal Health Test AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA, September 15, 2020 / EINPresswire.com/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the heal...
Problem
Conventional healthcare is not addressing consumer needs
The market for at home lab testing is growing exponentially.
The D2C Lab Testing Market grew at 53% CAGR in 2019. ($300MM in 2019, 53% CAGR).
COVID-19 is fueling this transformation further with patients not wanting to go to a clinic to get their blood drawn and tested. Remote, at-home lab testing is the future of this industry.
By helping individuals get easier access to their key markers of internal health and improving health literacy we can begin to empower people to take a more active role in managing their health.
There is a systemic issue in the US: Sick Care vs. Healthcare.
With 1 in 2 Americans suffering from at least 1 chronic disease, traditional annual check-ups and lab visits alone are not proving effective enough. Patients are often left frustrated and searching for more information via podcasts, health influencers, and alternative medicine. Visiting a clinic to get your blood drawn can be frustrating and time consuming. Choose Health is here to provide an at-home alternative
