MEDIA ALERT: HLTH 2021 – Sprinter Health to Showcase How At-Home Lab Draws and Testing Can Transform Access to Healthcare

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sprinter Health:

WHEN:	October 17 - 19, 2021
WHERE:	HLTH Conference Start-Up Pavilion Booth #1155-9
	Boston Convention and Exhibition Center

Background: According to a CDC report, 70% of medical decisions are based on lab results, yet millions of patients fail to schedule lab services. Unfortunately, without lab work, doctors are unable to make a proper diagnosis, and patients suffer, with many missing the window for early detection and treatment. While telehealth adoption surged during the pandemic, there are limits to what can be done virtually for necessary services such as lab draws and vitals checks. Healthcare conversations between doctors and patients often require lab work, vitals, and more before treatments or services can be prescribed, and time or the ability to get to a lab or doctor’s office have long stood as barriers to access for many.

Sprinter Health has raised $33 million in Series A funding to eliminate these common barriers to healthcare. The company sends employed nurses and ("Sprinters") into the home for convenient and affordable lab draws, vitals checks, COVID-19 testing, and more -- the “last mile” of healthcare. Online booking, reminders about fasting, text messages with estimated times of arrival, and follow-up care instructions make these healthcare interactions as easy as ordering food delivery, whether they are initiated by a patient, a healthcare provider, or a specialty lab partner.

Visitors to the Sprinter Health booth can learn:

- How Sprinter Health ensures efficiency, accuracy, and high quality care for at-home lab draws, vitals, and testing
- How healthcare systems, physician practices, insurance companies, and specialty labs can partner with Sprinter Health
- More about the booking experience and Sprinter Checklist
