Patients with acute or chronic conditions that require regular testing or monitoring by their healthcare provider would benefit from the Rempath Services. The service can be used for the taking and analysis of blood, swab, stool, and urine samples from the patient's home.
Solution: Patient given four kits on his last appointment. The clinician ordered quarterly HBA1C tests for the next year. The patient received an SMS message on the day before and the morning the test needed to be taken. The patient used the painless blood withdraw device. Once complete, the patient notified the courier that the sample was ready for collection which was delivered to their local laboratory. The results went straight back to the clinician to allow him to monitor the patients’ bloods remotely. The patient really appreciated the reduction of hospital visits and the reduced impact his medical condition had on his day-to-day life.
Diagnosis: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). 10 years old with learning difficulties.
The patient is uncomfortable in hospital settings but is on long-term adalimumab therapy, which requires ongoing monitoring.
Solution: The clinician ordered a complete blood count (CBC), liver enzymes, and serum creatinine through the Rempath portal. Two Rempath kits were provided during the last appointment to test these markers three months apart. The patient preferred to use our blood collection device due to its simplicity and pain-free experience.
Benefits to the Patient: Both the patient and his parents are much more at ease, as the patient no longer has to make frequent hospital visits and feels more comfortable overall.
