The Home Test Revolution

The home test revolution was sparked during the pandemic. At-home tests are still a key way to slow the spread of Covid and the Biden Administration has recently restarted offering free at-home tests. Before COVID, most people had never taken a diagnostic test at home. The pandemic soon made this routine, and consumers embraced the convenience and timely results that enabled them to quickly get to care.

At-home collection kits, which existed prior to the pandemic, addressed part of the problem of access by letting people test at home, but they still require one to mail their samples to a central lab and wait for results. In our view, that’s half a solution.

Since the Covid pandemic, consumers have come to expect almost immediate test results. And this is also the best, most effective way to slow down the spread of infectious diseases. Mailing test results to a lab takes too long.

At Sherlock, we work to deliver the full package: affordable, easily-accessible, fast and private testing. Though the technology behind Sherlock’s tests is incredibly sophisticated, the experience will be much like a COVID antigen test.

Imagine it, you have a healthcare concern that requires diagnostic testing, then all you need to do is go to your local pharmacy or online, follow simple instructions with a test you can do anywhere, wait under an hour and get results. The process is familiar; the difference is the accuracy of the results and the ability to test for things that require a lab today. This is the diagnostics of the future.
