TELEMEDICINE
TEST EASILY FROM HOME
makes it possible to not only check for possible diseases quickly and easily,
but also to make effective treatments accessible - all without leaving the house!
EasyTest provides fast results digitally and offers the expertise of leading specialists in
Germany. We spoke to Ramin Shafii, a member of the EasyTest Scientific Advisory Board.
Hello Mr. Shafii. Could you please tell us briefly
how EasyTest works?
EasyTest is a new part of the Wellster Healthtech
Group and offers various test options
for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). We
also offer tests to determine testosterone and
vitamin D levels. Patients can first find out
which test offers are available on the website
and then select the test that suits them best.
The test is delivered to your home - discreetly
in neutral packaging - and carried out there by
the patient in accordance with the instructions
provided. The evaluations then take place in a
certified partner laboratory. As soon as the results
are available, the patient receives a code
with which they can log on to the homepage
and check their results.
Do the tests require a prescription?
The tests do not require a prescription and are
currently still a self-pay service. In general,
such medical tests are most commonly
performed in a doctor‘s practice. With EasyTest
we offer anonymous and fast tests that can be
carried out comfortably at home. Incidentally,
the results can be obtained within 72 hours.
So, it‘s not an all-in-one test because each
indication is tested separately for?
These are individual tests, with the test for
detecting the sexually transmitted diseases
gonorrhea and chlamydia being combined in
one test kit. We have currently launched four
different tests, but plan to further expand the
range in this area.
On your homepage, you also offer advice
specifically on men‘s problems.
There are three areas in total: GoSpring, Easy
and EasyTest. GoSpring only has products
for men addressing issues such as erectile
dysfunction and hair loss. At Easy, we offer
assistance on mental health issues such as
sleep disorders or mood swings. And then our
third brand, EasyTest, under which we offer the
home test kits.
And how is the response?
It‘s very positive! The corona antigen rapid
test is of course very much in demand at the
moment, but so are testosterone and vitamin D
level tests. This is probably also due to the fact
that, especially in the current situation, people
like to save themselves the trip to the doctor‘s
office. In general, the interest and the need
for telemedicine increased during the corona
pandemic, which is also having a positive
effect on us at EasyTest. Telemedicine makes it
possible to offer fast, reliable health tests, even
in such difficult times, without having to leave
the house. (ts,sw)
