New Diabetes Test Aims to Bring Clinic-level Analysis to the Home
The push to improve at-home medical technology is integral to lowering costs of health care by keeping people out of hospitals and doctors' offices for routine tasks. Diagnostics are an important part of that, allowing people to detect potential diseases earlier when treatment is less invasive and the chance of recovery is higher.
