Self-collection

Empowering patients through self-collection  methods

Self-collection is the sampling of a biological specimen conducted by patients themselves , either at home or under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

It offers many advantages, such as increasing participation rates in screenings, empowering individuals to engage in their diagnostic journey, and saving time and resources in hospitals and points of care (POCs), with applications such as urine and UTIs diagnostics and STIs screening.
