Home health tests provide privacy and convenience.

It is now possible to use home health tests for both monitoring and for diagnosis. Privacy concerns and time constraints motivate many people to administer home health tests in lieu of a doctor's visit. Pregnancy, HIV, and drug and alcohol use are all conditions that some would like to evaluate in the privacy of their home.

Other home health tests can determine whether deficiencies exist that may be affecting general health and wellness. Mineral content and male and female hormone levels are areas that some would like to examine to determine if various conditions may be related.

Some home health tests can reduce doctor visits and medical costs. They also offer convenient, private access to valuable information. Many feel that home health tests are reasonably accurate, since they are regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration.

But all medical tests (home or laboratory) are prone to error if administered incorrectly. What's more, our bodies change because of varying hormone levels, food intake and overall health. A home health test can indicate you have a condition when you don't, or indicate you don't have a condition when you do.

For whatever situation a home health test is attempting to monitor or diagnose, there is a definite need for ongoing physician counseling and medical management. No one should rely exclusively on home health tests to make decisions about medical conditions or treatments. These tests can be indicators of whether additional steps are necessary.
