Boots expands home health market with new testing kits

UK – Boots is stepping up its role in preventative healthcare with the expansion of its home testing kits, which have been developed in partnership with diagnostics firm MyHealthChecked.

The kits can be used to monitor a range of health issues, including food intolerance, low energy, testosterone and cholesterol levels, and to assist with weight management.

Samples are analysed at MyHealthChecked’s lab and the results are delivered to the customer along with personalised advice from doctors and nutritionists. Patients can  share findings via the NHS App through Patients Know Best to ensure that there is integration with existing health records.

This initiative reflects growing consumer demand for proactive health monitoring, as longer lifespans drive the pursuit of better quality of life – a shift we identified in our Longevity Lifestyles report.

As people seek to take control of their health and wellbeing, Boots is positioning itself as a diagnostics provider and a support hub, in step with the NHS’s 10-year plan for patient-led, digitally accessible care.
