What is capillary blood?

Probatix partner pharmacies offer a wide range of blood tests covering a broad spectrum of health issues. These include tests to monitor blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, thyroid function, vitamin and mineral levels, as well as specific markers for heart disease and inflammatory reactions. These tests provide quick insights into your state of health and help to identify risks at an early stage.

Which values can I test?

The process is designed to be simple and efficient to provide you with a pleasant experience. Once the desired test has been selected, a trained specialist carries out the blood sample professionally. In this procedure, a small amount of blood from the fingertip – so-called capillary blood

– is obtained. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is carried out with the utmost care to ensure comfort and accuracy. The sample is then sent to a certified laboratory for analysis or, in some cases, analyzed directly on site.

FAQ

Can't I have these tests done free of charge by my family doctor?

It is certainly possible to have certain tests carried out by your family doctor. However, what ‘free’ means can vary. Traditional routes can often involve waiting times and multiple doctor visits, which can be especially challenging if you’re on a tight schedule or looking for quick answers to your health questions.

At Probatix, we are committed to offering you a more accessible and efficient alternative. Our aim is to provide you with uncomplicated access to your blood values without long waiting times. Even more important to us is that you can not only view your health data, but also understand it and actively use it to manage your health yourself.

Our vision is to promote better and proactive healthcare in Germany, which not only facilitates the early detection of diseases, but also helps to relieve the burden on doctors’ surgeries by avoiding unnecessary visits. We believe that an informed approach to one’s own health data is key to long-term well-being and efficient healthcare.

Probatix is a pure software company and does not analyze samples. We work together with professional laboratories specializing in capillary blood. They carry out the evaluation for us and we make the results available to our customers in a digital and comprehensible format.

Our tests are carried out under professional conditions. From blood collection and transport to analysis in a specialized laboratory. This gives you medically reliable blood values.

In most cases, the blood sample is taken by a professional Probatix partner (e.g. a pharmacy near you). You do not have to order a test to your home, take a blood sample yourself or send the sample to the laboratory yourself.

Unfortunately, our tests are not yet covered by health insurance companies. We are working on changing that soon.

You will receive your results directly in your Probatix Health Portal. There you will also see simple explanations and timelines so that you can quickly recognize trends and changes and act accordingly.

The tests at Probatix are carried out entirely in a controlled environment: from blood collection and transportation to the laboratory to evaluation and transmission. This gives you safe and reliable results.

The data at Probatix is protected according to the highest security standards. Probatix’s information security management system is also certified to ISO 27001 by TÜV Süd.

Short answer: No. If only because we are a software provider, while Theranos produced medical devices.

More detailed answer: With Probatix, we want to make it easier for people to access their own health data through our software. We act as an interface that connects users with qualified laboratories to have blood values professionally analyzed. We then make the results available digitally. Our role is that of a software provider that promotes transparency and accessibility in the healthcare sector.

In contrast, Theranos was a company that developed medical devices and misled both patients and investors with deliberately false promises. The machine manufactured by Theranos never worked and the samples were in fact secretly analyzed on real laboratory equipment. The book“Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou is highly recommended if you want to find out more.

If the test results are abnormal, we generally recommend that you consult a doctor for further clarification. This will soon also be possible directly via the Probatix platform.
