How home collection works
Book in the app
Pick your test, choose a time, and pay a price shown upfront — no surprises at the door.
Sample collected at home
A trained phlebotomist comes to you with sealed, single-use kits and collects the sample.
Results, explained
Results arrive in the app, and a doctor walks you through what they mean and what to do next.

Measures total cholesterol, LDL ('bad'), HDL ('good') and triglycerides.
Immediate reading; bloods in 24 hours
Blood pressure check & hypertension work-up
Standardised blood-pressure measurement plus the baseline tests (kidney function, urinalysis, ECG referral) a new diagnosis needs.
