We asked patients and doctors and this is what they said
Patients
Algocyte is helping change how frequently and where people are monitored and get tested, but most people (89%) are still at high risk of infection from travelling to GP practices and hospitals to get their blood testing done, especially those requiring regular monitoring (30%).
Patients surveyed about Algocyte found that getting a regular appointment for a blood test was too long (at least a week on average)
which together with the time they had to wait for their blood test results amounted to up to two more weeks in total.
A majority of patients say yes to finger-pricking over the alternatives

Practitioners
The number of tests and hours that doctors and nurses request and spend on blood testing is significant
Enabled by the responsible AI-powered capabilities of Algocyte, doctors found that they could save appointments and spend several hours a week on other activities, including providing more time and greater quality of care to patients.
There was a clear consensus on time-saving and usefulness of results and analytics in a remote app and solution for rapid remote blood testing.
Data collected from a survey independently conducted and answered by 28 people including doctors (all levels), paramedics, nurses, and patients by the Medici Medical Centre clinic in Luton on June 11, 2020, a GP practice with over 15,000 patients.
