At-home health testing has revolutionized preventative care, making it easier for patients to monitor their health without frequent doctor visits. We explore the expanding landscape of self-administered tests, from colorectal cancer screenings to at-home blood work, and discuss how these tools empower patients to take control of their wellness journey.

• Colorectal cancer screening now available through at-home Cologuard testing instead of traditional colonoscopy
• Cardiovascular and metabolic screenings through finger-prick blood tests that can be ordered directly by patients
• Cancer risk assessment tools that help identify potential risks, especially valuable for those with limited family history information
• At-home STI testing providing privacy and reducing stigma associated with sexual health screenings
• Important limitations of at-home testing including potential for false results and proper interpretation challenges
• Smart scales and other technology that help track BMI and body composition for metabolic health monitoring
