American diagnostics company Labcorp has announced the launch of Labcorp OnDemand, a new online platform where patients can order lab tests and even collect some samples at home. The new platform is representative of the brand's new focus on moving further into the digital health space.
According to the company, patients will have the ability to choose tests through the platform and (with a physician's approval) review their results without ever needing to physically visit a doctor. In addition, for certain tests, users will be able to collect their own samples in the privacy of their homes, while for others they will be required to visit a LabCorp collection center.
"Labcorp OnDemand makes it easier for individuals to access our leading diagnostic tests online. The OnDemand platform is an intuitive experience where individuals can purchase tests online and choose from multiple options to take the test, including in the comfort of their own home," Amy Summy, Labcorp’s executive vice president and chief marketing office.
