Healthtracka gives customers immediate access to booking lab tests, at-home sample collection, and digital results in 1-3 days.
Faqontech team found a couple of tests offered by healthtracka; STD, Blood count, Pre-wedding test, COVID and so many more.
To examine data and refer patients to specialists for additional advice, Healthtracka also collaborates with doctors.
However, although a standard test covers the costs of phlebotomist visits and doctors analyzing the results, clients pay extra when Healthtracka links them with experts if the diagnosis is alarming.
Since its launch, Healthtracka’s network of phlebotomists has grown 20x to over 100. And according to Dare-Johnson, the company has conducted almost 7,000 tests at customers’ homes. As an outcome, its income is increasing by 30% on a monthly basis.
