Direct-to-Consumer Testing
Direct-to-Consumer Testing (DTC) refers to services that allow individuals to access various tests, such as genetic or health assessments, without needing a healthcare provider's referral. Consumers can order these tests online, receive sample collection kits at home, and send their samples to laboratories for analysis.
The results are typically delivered directly to the consumer, often through a secure online platform. This approach empowers individuals to take charge of their health and wellness by providing them with information that can inform lifestyle choices or medical decisions, all while maintaining privacy and convenience.
