Why

“The future growth in the adoption of personalized lifestyle health care will be driven by new technologies that allow people to conveniently and accurately measure and track their function.”
Jeff Bland, “Father of Functional Medicine”

Advancements in technology have never before enabled consumers to be such active participants in their own health as they are today. Access to real time testing allows for personalized preventative health strategies that remove the guess work. The desire to test and obtain rapid results while remaining at home has catapulted from interesting to imperative. Recent challenges have demonstrated the need for accurate easy to use in-home testing. Rapid results allow for a rapid plan of action, not only for the health of the individual, but of the community as a whole.
