How to improve health outcomes with at-home digital health solutions?

Dr. Andrew Botham is the cofounder and chief scientific officer of TestCard – an at-home testing solution that provides immediate results at a low cost by providing a non-invasive urine test kit embedded into a postcard, with an accompanying mobile application that turns a mobile phone’s camera into a clinical grade scanner.

This is part two of our startup series, where we focus on the experiences, challenges, and insights gained from innovative solution seekers who are redefining healthcare.

HT: Before founding TestCard, you gained unique experience from the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Could you please share with us a bit more about what you did there and what your responsibilities were?

Andrew Botham: I was the Laboratory Manager for Blood Sciences in Hull and East Yorkshire. I ran the blood sciences service which included biochemistry, hematology, immunology, blood transfusion and point of care testing. So in essence, all of the blood testing for the entire area.
