Problems about being tested at hospitals/clinics.

Blood Coagulation (PT/INR) Test

Blood coagulation time (PT) or simply its normalized ratio (INR) is expected to be between 0.8 and 1.2. Lower INR means faster clotting while higher INR means slower clotting. According to medical condition of some patients (for instance the ones with heart surgery) may require higher levels of INR. Hence frequent and regular testing is required to meet desired INR levels for patients on Warfarin (anti-coagulation drug) Therapy. Such frequent testing have a better chance to prevent;

    • stroke
    • thrombosis and embolism
    • , and treat Deep Vein Thrombosis
  Usually testing is done at Hospitals or Clinics but this;
  • is an exhaustive process for especially older patients,
  • requires a tube (2ml) of blood which is not convenient for infants or older patients,
  • prevents to be tested frequently.
So Tarabios* develops its solution for patient self-testing at home convenience.
