A revolutionary app has been launched to tackle the staggering number of UTI-related hospital admissions in the UK.
The Rightdose Self-Test & Treat App, in collaboration with Newfoundland Diagnostics, empowers individuals to test and treat UTIs from the comfort of their homes, combining the ease of at-home testing with the convenience of ordering necessary medication straight to their door.
The launch comes as NHS England data revealed a concerning trend, with almost two million hospital admissions in the last five years caused by UTIs or were found to have a UTI after being admitted for another reason.
Without treatment, a UTI can cause a number of serious complications such as kidney infections, which without treatment, can travel through the bloodstream, causing sepsis.
This app’s launch marks a milestone in healthcare accessibility, enabling individuals to manage UTIs conveniently from home, reducing the strain on NHS resources and bypassing the need to consult a GP or medical professional for immediate treatment.
Michael Hough, Founder of BHA Medical, said: “The Rightdose Self-Test & Treat App is a comprehensive health and disease management platform that revolutionises healthcare by reducing the need for in-person visits to medical professionals and introducing a new era of easily accessible and proactive healthcare.”
