Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Could you please note that you have read the PocDoc result incorrectly. What you have included in your review is not the result you received.

We are obviously concerned about your comments: the performance of PocDoc Healthy Heart Check kit is a priority for us.

We are very confident in the accuracy of our medical device, as it has been through stringent clinical performance evaluation as part of our UK CA medical device registration. It is because of this accuracy performance, that the test is being adopted across multiple NHS organisations in the UK.

It is also important to note that cholesterol levels change over time, and even small differences can take a ‘green’ result, into a ‘red’ one. You can read more about fluctuations in levels here: https://pocdoc.co/articles/understanding-pocdoc-lipid-test-results. You can also read about the accuracy of our medical device here: https://pocdoc.co/articles/how-clinically-accurate-is-pocdoc.

If you have any further questions about our kit or how to use the correctly, please contact support@mypocdoc.com.

Kind regards

A great experience

From ordering to results the experience with PocDoc was effortless and seamless. Ordering was simple and delivery as described. The home testing kit is ridiculously easy to use. The app displays the results clearly and provides sufficient clear output without having to have a doctorate to understand. I’ve taken the results and followed up with my GP, a process that is ongoing. 5 stars!

So quick and easy to do this test at home. I was worried about my cardiovascular risk as I haven't been to a doctor in over 15 years but thankfully a very great heart health assessment came through in under 10 minutes. This is a game changer and everyone should be doing this screening at home rather than taking up your own and nhs valuable time going to your GP. Well done PocDoc

Excellent product

Excellent product backed up with great customer service.
My first attempt was unsuccessful - I was automatically sent another test that arrived promptly. I found the videos that accompany each stage of the process very helpful - the results were clear explicit with additional information.
I was relieved with my results as I'd been worried about my heart health. I'm now motivated to reduce saturated fats.
I've recommended this product to friends family colleagues both in and outside of the UK.
It's thorough quick and empowering - beats waiting for a gp appointment

Great service from the company, had to do the process twice only because I didn’t read the instructions properly the first time. Got a second kit almost immediately. Easy to use and gives peace of mind. Would recommend.

Easy to use

Easy to use. If you did Covid tests at home then you'll find this one pretty similar. Admittedly, no one enjoys pricking their finger but the spring loaded lancet works well and gets it done! Only drawback for me was that my Samsung Galaxy J6 couldn't use the App, so I borrowed my son's phone to run it.

Could do with clearer guidance

It would be useful to have some clearer guidance in the leaflet, maybe with pictures for each step. I was confused about where exactly to apply the blood drops and I wasn’t sure if the results were valid as the sample didn’t apply evenly on the surface.

Excellent product

I was very impressed with the speed of delivery and the clear instructions , it was easy to follow as was the app for the results. I would highly recommend and have me peace of mind due to family health risks. Good value for money . My first test didn’t work ( my own fault for not drinking enough water beforehand ) and I was given a replacement free .

I found the test easy to do and the instructions were clear and precise. The timer was a nice touch too. The results were accurate and tied in with other tests I’ve had done at the drs over the years.

It was so good, I got one for my partner and he thought it was excellent too. We will both be redoing in a years time.

Great Idea

Brilliant idea and easy to use but you need a steady hand to apply blood from pipette to test area. Finger pricker (the same as hospitals use) iwas positively brutal and I got blood everywhere!! Being a sceptic it is a useful tool for the GP to coerece you into taking statins. My result was on the high side so now have to have a health check or speak to the clinical pharmacian. (Statins by stealth?)

Not accurate????

The test kit was easy to use and having a video to watch was great.
But …… the results were way off compared to the Drs test I had.
Very confusing. Not sure if the Dr was lying just to get me to have statins or not.
But something is not quite right here.

Thanks for contacting me. It was great to hear your views on this issue. And thank you for sending me another test kit to recheck my results.

Great communication from this company.

Home test for Cholesterol levels

I read about this home test for heart health and cholesterol levels in a newspaper article, and immediately ordered one. Arrived promptly, straightforward to use, and instant results. Enabled me to check my cholesterol levels without the faff of making a doctor appointment. I'll definitely use again.
