Simple HealthKit Expands Access to At-Home Diagnostics and Follow-up Care for Diabetes, Respiratory Wellness and Sexual Wellness with Product Launch in Amazon’s U.S. Store
Created by people who believe world-class care is a right, not a privilege, Simple HealthKit addresses high-need and high-impact health challenges in all communities
Simple HealthKit is dedicated to making quality healthcare available to all
FREMONT, Calif., April 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Simple HealthKit, improving access to healthcare with lab-quality at-home sample collection kits and a full-stack platform for diagnostics, care, and treatment, announced today that its at-home diagnostics and follow-up care kits for Diabetes (HbA1c), Respiratory Wellness and Sexual Wellness are now available at Amazon.com.
The company’s at-home Respiratory Wellness tests are the only such kits in Amazon’s U.S. store that cover Influenza A, Influenza B and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
“Simple HealthKit’s affordable and accessible at-home diagnostics and programs are designed to help people detect emerging health conditions early, before they become chronic or acute,” said Dr. Sheena Menezes, co-founder and CEO of Simple HealthKit. “More than 1 in 3 adults are prediabetic and 80 percent of those don’t know it. An HbA1c test is a critical tool to help prevent the progression to Type 2 diabetes. 1 in 2 sexually active people will contract an STD/STI by age 25, and many are asymptomatic and unaware. Simple HealthKit’s Sexual Wellness test can help by accelerating diagnosis and treatment.”
Simple HealthKit has built the end-to-end healthcare infrastructure from testing and follow-up care with its own CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited labs, to connections for treatment. It starts with reliable diagnostic tests (at-home, in clinics, or at the pharmacy) and fast results, and then providing the immediate next steps for consultation and treatment if a person tests abnormal for a health condition. Simple HealthKit offers several types of diagnostics programs, including:
- HbA1c (Diabetes)
- Respiratory Wellness
- Sexual Wellness
- Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) for Colon Cancer Screening
- Kidney Health Test which evaluates kidney function and kidney damage
Over the past year, Simple HealthKit has:
- Announced partnerships with health plans including Imperial Health Plan of California
- Launched an expanded Sexual Wellness diagnostics and follow-up care program
- Launched a new Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients with Diabetes (KED) program to help healthcare payers improve patient health, boost STAR ratings and meet HEDIS measures
- Announced collaborations with major retailers
