Lab U provides laboratory services via telehealth. It began by offering STDs testing in a comfortable way using home test kits.<\/p>

Now, following the emergency situation in Mexico by COVID-19, Lab U set itself the goal of providing COVID-19 samples at home.<\/p>

In this way they seek to speed up the time of results and avoid risks of contagion for patients by avoiding to take a test directly in a laboratory, as well as avoid crowding in these spaces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"By getting PCR test certification for coronavirus, we decided to launch a sampling kit. The idea is that people can collect their own samples without having to go to a hospital or lab. This represents a time saving of 60% and the security of not exposing yourself to contagion or spreading to others,\" explained Eduardo Lozano, founder of Lab U.<\/p>

The COVID-19 PCR Test sample kit, is of the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal type, this includes biosecurity material, UTM-Viral a Nasopharyngeal swab, a transport tube and a self-testing guide for assisting sample.<\/p>

To order a sample kit at home, the user must complete an eligibility form, as the tests are focused on people with COVID-19 symptoms or those who have been exposed to the virus or if they are part of a vulnerable population.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If eligible, the patient must proceed to pay for their kit and receive it at home. After taking the sample as indicated in the manuals, Lab U will receive them in 48 hours and the results will be consulted online by the patient. Immediate attention will be provided in case of positive results.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong>The emergence of new telehealth services in times of health emergency is important, especially those such as Lab U offer laboratory testing services via remote.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Tras la autorizaci\u00f3n de sus pruebas PCR, el startup ahora desarrolla kits de toma de muestras desde casa para el test de COVID-19. Lab U brinda servicios de laboratorio v\u00eda telesalud. Inici\u00f3 pruebas de enfermedades de transmisi\u00f3n sexual de una forma c\u00f3moda mediante un kit de prueba desde casa. Ahora, tras la situaci\u00f3n de emergencia que vive M\u00e9xico y por COVID-19, Lab U se plante\u00f3 como objetivo brindar pruebas de COVID-19 en casa. De esta forma buscan agilizar el tiempo de resultados y evitar riesgos de contagio para los pacientes al realizarse una prueba directamente en un laboratorio, as\u00ed como evitar aglomeraciones en estos espacios. “Al obtener la certificaci\u00f3n de la prueba PCR para detectar coronavirus, decidimos lanzar un kit de toma de muestra. La idea es que la gente pueda recolectar sus propias muestras sin necesidad de ir a un hospital o laboratorio. Esto representa un ahorro de tiempo del 60% y la seguridad de no exponerse al contagio o de contagiar a otros\u201d, explic\u00f3 Eduardo Lozano, fundador del Lab U. El kit de muestra COVID-19 PCR Test, es del tipo nasofar\u00edngea y orofar\u00edngea, esta incluye material de bioseguridad, tubo de transporte UTM-Viral e Hisopo nasofar\u00edngeo y una gu\u00eda de auto toma de muestra asistencial. Para ordenar un kit de muestra en casa, el usuario deber\u00e1 completar un formulario de elegibilidad, ya que los test est\u00e1n enfocados a personas con s\u00edntomas de la enfermedad, que hayan estado expuestas al virus o si son poblaci\u00f3n vulnerable. En caso de ser elegible el paciente deber\u00e1 proceder a pagar su kit y recibirlo en casa. Tras tomar la muestra como se indica en los manuales, Lab U las recibir\u00e1 en 48 horas y los resultados ser\u00e1n consultados en l\u00ednea por el paciente. En caso de resultado positivo se brindar\u00e1 orientaci\u00f3n inmediata.  Es importante el surgimiento de nuevos servicios de telesalud en tiempos de emergencia sanitaria, especialmente aquellos que como Lab U ofrecen servicios de pruebas de laboratorio v\u00eda remota.
