DIY blood testing is growing in popularity. At-home testing kits make it easy to collect our own samples and receive lab results online. But could we be over-testing – just because we can?
Michael Dubrovsky is the co-founder of SiPhox Health, a home blood testing system that claims its results are as accurate as traditional methods.
What is SiPhox Health?
It is a home blood testing that can measure 17 biomarkers with just a few drops of blood. This system allows people to mail their blood samples to a lab for analysis, offering a convenient alternative to traditional blood tests performed at a doctor's office.
In this interview Dubrovsky outlines his goal of democratizing health data - by making such tests more affordable - and explains how frequent biomarker monitoring could help detect serious health conditions early.
