Remote blood testing for health monitoring and assessment of defence personnel
Co-locator - UNSW Sydney
Monitoring of people ’ s health , especially during periods of prolonged stress , is critical in understanding the impact on their health and making decisions regarding their welfare . Blood testing is a critical component of health assessments , however , the process of collecting a blood sample is not viable in many situations or environments that defence force personnel encounter .
Drop Bio Health has developed Remote Control , a blood collection and transportation technology that enables simple and convenient capillary blood samples to be collected and transported . This process avoids issues associated with traditional blood collection and enables the accurate analysis of the blood sample , even when cold-chain transportation may be unavailable .
The technology is an opportunity to collect blood samples from individuals in previously unsuitable , remote or adverse situations , and for samples to be returned to a lab without sacrificing test accuracy .
