As part of our commitment to accessible, patient-centred healthcare, we have also introduced saliva-based hormone testing as a convenient, non-invasive alternative to blood sampling for selected investigations in both men and women. Saliva collection eliminates the need for needles, reduces collection-related discomfort and needle-associated risks, and allows patients to collect samples conveniently, including at home. Depending on the analyte and validated collection conditions, saliva samples may also offer practical advantages for storage and transportation, while reducing the costs associated with professional blood collection. Saliva is a valuable biological specimen containing a diverse range of biomarkers associated with hormonal activity, oral health, infectious diseases, inflammation and other conditions, with ongoing research exploring applications in cancer, autoimmune and cardiovascular disease detection. Our saliva-based hormone testing portfolio includes cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, 17β-estradiol, estriol and DHEA, providing patients and healthcare professionals with more convenient options for investigating and monitoring hormonal health.
We can also come to you with a medical team, speak to us to find out more about our custom packages for corporate wellness testing.
Tracking has become undeniably important in the arena of self-care and many of us already track our sleep patterns, diet and exercise on a daily basis. BioSmart is simply the next step on this ladder, with regular health checks a pathway to early detection of any issues – and ultimately a better outcome.
