What is BloodTrackR?

BloodTrackR is a user friendly blood collection device which extends healthcare into the home and can support decentralized clinical trials.

Watch this short video explaining the simplicity of BloodTrackR and how this device can revolutionize blood collection anywhere.

What experts say

“By understanding the people who are living with or at risk for the diseases we aim to treat, taking the time to consider their individual lifestyles and experiences and acting upon the insights we uncover, we will help people in an effective and compassionate manner.”

Amit Patel, PhD, Associate Director, Alliance Management, AstraZeneca

“COVID-19 has accelerated the shift towards decentralized clinical trial designs, allowing patients to participate in research without the usual burden of frequent in-clinic visits. As blood collection continues to be a barrier to scalable and affordable decentralization of biosample collection, a reliable and user-friendly blood collection device presents a unique value proposition to the clinical trial industry.”

Emil Hoeck, MSc, Senior Director, Virtual Trial Solutions, Signant Health

“Since the start of the pandemic, health professionals and their patients have had to adapt to new ‘long distance’ virtual relationships. This has highlighted the urgent need to develop and use tools that enable patients to share their symptoms and objective outcome data remotely, allowing their health professionals to manage their condition safely and effectively.”

Philip Gardiner, MD, MB, BCh, BAO, Consultant Rheumatologist, Western Health & Social Care Trust

How BloodTrackR helps

For clinical trials, the convenience of virtual trial approaches can increase the number of patients willing and able to enroll.

  • Cost-effective relative to phlebotomy.

  • Provides unique data insights.

  • Confidence in a valid plasma sample.

  • Secure user information.

  • Reduces the risk of trial participant dropout by providing greater convenience.

  • Enables optimal assessment schedules and increase compliance with trial sampling protocols.

  • The associated app can be used to engage with users to encourage treatment adherence.

BloodTrackR Features

BloodTrackR is a user-friendly blood collection device that extends healthcare into the home and can reduce the costs of clinical trials. It comes in a reuseable format that can be programmed to the patient.

Finger lancet blood droplets are filtered within BloodTrackR and stored as dried plasma.

BloodTrackR can collect sufficient blood for a range of standard clinical analyser tests (e.g. HbA1c, CRP, AST, cholesterol, urea).

Sample temperature is continuously recorded whilst the device is in transit to the lab.

The sample proteins, nucleic acids and drug metabolites are stabilized in the device.

A sample triggers a digital timestamp which is relayed to the lab or clinic via Wi-Fi.

BloodTrackR has customizable internet-of-things (IoT) and mobile device app connectivity.

WHAT PATIENTS SAY

“It will allow the patient to be more in control of their arthritis and how they cope with the diagnosis, as it can take many years to actually be comfortable with the disease and its symptoms, flares, medications, treatments and surgeries.”

Sara

“More regular monitoring would give me more confidence that my medication is working and when I should be seeking doctors’ advice if feeling unwell.”

Veronica
“This could save me having to get taxis to get to my doctor so often for blood tests, great that you could do this at home.”
Ethel
“If you’re not at the hospital with a flare up the doctor won’t see it; this way they could. I also need to have my bloods done regularly to get a fresh prescription, it would be a handier way to do this in my own time.”
Paul

“I could be fine for three months at a time, but it’s those random occasions it would be good to have a way to record flare up’s.”

Hugh
“I want to improve myself and am keen to try new things to help my arthritis and others who suffer from it. Instead of being sent a letter to say my bloods are due, making an appointment and then travelling to the hospital, it would be great to have a way of keeping on top of my condition from home.”
