Whether for those with chronic health conditions or those who are just curious, Verv Technologies’ home blood-testing device does more than check blood sugar, it aims to be a high-quality blood chemistry analyser to track everything from cholesterol to hormone levels
A Sudbury-based medical biotechnology company working at the Health Sciences North Research Institute is developing a home blood-testing kit that will enable people to monitor several health indicators with the results appearing on your smartphone.
The company this week revealed it has won project funding from a British firm that will enable Verv toward commercializing their device. Coleman added that there is a market and a demand for the product from people who want better ways of monitoring their health. "Many people have chronic health challenges they would like to keep an eye on. Providing an accurate affordable method for consumers to track their health in their home has never been more important as we have seen over the past few years," Coleman said.
This also eliminates the need for needles, travel time for testing, testing appointments and wait time for results, said the website.
