A simple quick test avoids a trip to the doctor and can be completed in the privacy and comfort of our own home. For consumers, at home tests mean more convenience and fast results, usually in 20 minutes or less. They provide early, tangible evidence supporting better informed decisions about when to visit the doctor. In turn, improving clinicians’ ability to offer better-targeted care while giving patients a more accessible and personalised approach to managing their own personal healthcare. The process is personalised, discreet and fast. As self-diagnostics become more sophisticated, it has also become easier than ever, enabling consumers to engage in better self-care, quickly and safely.

For many years pregnancy tests, blood glucose meters and ovulation predictors were the only diagnostic tests readily available for home use. Today, most of us are familiar with swab tests to the nose, with the last few years firmly embedding regular testing into everyday life. Medical and technological advances have also meant that users can now easily test a variety of self-collected specimens and interpret the results on their own, in the comfort of their home.
Today self-test kits can be used to rapidly detect and diagnose a wide range of health conditions, including infectious diseases and non-infectious conditions like UTI infections, hormone deficiencies, fertility issues, pregnancy, and more.
Prevention is always better than cure. By empowering consumers to take their health into their own hands, reliable self-diagnostic tests offer a way to detect things early, long before they may have approached the doctor. A negative result can bring peace of mind, whereas a positive result could be life-saving and get them there much quicker.
The move to self-diagnostics offers a unique opportunity to better manage the burden on our health providers.
The noticeable shift in the use of home diagnostics driven by the pandemic has empowered global consumers to take greater control of their own health in a way that was simply not readily accepted as common practice, only a few years ago.
The effectiveness of increasing familiarity with self-test kits has heightened a ground-breaking potential to expand access to self-testing beyond covid-19.
We believe self-diagnostics are here to stay and will become increasingly diversified, making an enormous contribution to help tackle other pressing healthcare challenges, including the rise in chronic conditions.
Consumers – and crucially workplaces and governments – have accepted self-diagnostics as an important tool in the healthcare continuum. That, in itself, is a huge tell of the vast potential they hold as a vital means to ease pressures on our health services, support better care to communities and empower people to take better control of their own health and wellbeing, now and into the future.
At 2San, we believe rapid diagnostics are transforming healthcare for people worldwide and that sustainable rapid diagnostics are the future.
What are self-diagnostics?
The value of self-test kits has experienced phenomenal growth in the last two years. Today rapid self-testing is seen as a vital tool in the fight against the rise of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, enabling early detection and providing rapid, accurate results, without the need to be analysed in a lab or by a specialist.
In the wake of the pandemic, the field of self-diagnostics has experienced significant innovation and advancement. With an increasing number of global consumers taking a greater interest in, and control of their own health and wellbeing, the range of over-the-counter (OTC) rapid diagnostic tests now available is expanding and empowering consumers. They offer a valuable means to test, screen, diagnose, and monitor a wide array of commonly occurring health issues and concerns.
