- It is not enough to maintain a healthy lifestyle, periodic medical check-ups are also required.
- With a format similar to that of Uber, this technological alternative allows trained nurses to go directly to patients’ homes to carry out specialized clinical studies.
- The health app has helped detect 1,000 diseases on time.
Technology offers different benefits that range from staying informed to making purchases online. In fact, there is a health app that stands out because it offers the possibility of obtaining clinical examinations without leaving home. All that is required is to request the service and qualified personnel come to carry out different specialized tests.
Disease prevention requires constant health checkups. The long lines and waiting times cause many people to give up going to a laboratory to take tests. For this reason, with a format similar to that of the well-known delivery platforms, Examedi allows patients to request clinical studies at home.
The range of offers is too wide and ranges from the detection of sexually transmitted, cardiac and nutritional diseases to cancer.
According to data from National Institute of Statistic and Geography (INEGI), in Mexico 4 out of 10 deaths are caused by heart disease and the consequences of diabetes. In addition, pathologies derived from some type of tumor or cancer, liver and cerebrovascular diseases, are other main reasons for the causes of death. To these data, it is also incorporated that these types of health problems are increasingly being seen in younger people.
“Deadly diseases are not prevented only with a healthy life, but also check-ups are necessary, given that there are people who may have a healthy diet and lifestyle, but may be suffering from some silent pathology that could generate various complications at future”, says Dr. Benjamín Pizarro.
How does it work?
Thus, Examedi is a health app in which people can perform more than 1,200 clinical studies without the need to leave their home. Everything is as simple as ordering the service you want and scheduling an appointment.
Thanks to this care model it has already managed to detect more than 1,000 diseases on time. Whereas currently he sees a new patient every 40 seconds.
“The normal thing is that a person, to take a clinical study, must ask for leave from work or at least lose 12 hours of their day. In addition, if we consider the fact that the patient must go fasting to stand in a long line and that the sampling takes time, the experience ends up being exhaustive, causing many not to practice these procedures. With this we achieve that people have to avoid all this process and take care of their health at the same time”, comments Sandro Scomparim, Country Manager of Examedi Mexico.
Today, this startup already operates in Mexico City and the metropolitan area, and will soon be in 10 other cities in our country. All they require is to schedule a home visit through their website. As simple as scheduling an Uber trip or ordering the supermarket with Cornershop.
The technology behind this health app focuses, above all, on the safety of its patients. After scheduling the appointment at your home, a professional and trained nurse will go to take the pertinent blood or urine samples to carry out the requested study. And in less than 48 hours (in many cases the same day) they send the test results directly by email.
