One of the most exciting developments in primary healthcare is here. Home health testing, provides a trigger to speak to a health consultant, sometimes a doctor and on other occasions a Community Health Store.
PRIMA is a Swiss-Italian company, manufacturing in a laboratory styled facility in Switzerland. This is crucial, as it means that the tests provide trusted and accurate results. The tests are listed on MEDSAFEs website by WellLab Ltd in New Zealand.
Why home testing?
By using home health tests you can look for early markers of disease. For example with a Prostate PSA Test you can identity elevated prostate specific antigen, which is an indicator of possible prostatic disease and in this case we recommend you see the doctor. A doctor always makes the diagnosis as many mild conditions can also cause elevated PSA. With a low reading, in the absence of symptoms and a consultation with a Community Health Store (CHS) team member, the purchaser can learn what symptoms to look for and be reassured with their current PSA result.
Where home testing is great for individual guidance
Vitamin D is an excellent example of how people in the community are self-diagnosing and self-medicating without any baseline information. The WellLab Vitamin D Test shows 4 different levels of Vitamin D in the blood. If levels are very low or high, the person needs to see a Doctor, who may require further tests. If levels are slightly low or acceptable and without symptoms, a health consultant can now more safely advise a suitable supplement. You should always talk to a CHS team member, before taking Vitamin D.
Prima Home Health Tests give quick, accurate and trusted results. They facilitate a new way for people to become more engaged with their health and to look for early markers. They are also an extremely valuable tool to consult with a CHS team member, to ensure supplements are used wisely and to provide a better health outcome.
