What is the PocDoc Healthy Heart Check?

The PocDoc Healthy Heart Check includes the PocDoc Lipid Test, which is a rapid 7-minute test that measures blood cholesterol levels. The steps in the testing process will involve you:

Downloading a mobile application called PocDoc which takes you through the testing process step-by-step
Pricking your finger with a lancet (a device that automatically inserts a very small needle into your finger to produce a small pinprick of blood)
Transferring the pinprick of blood to the test chip using a plastic transfer pipette
The PocDoc application then times the reaction and guides you to take a picture on your phone when 7 minutes has elapsed
PocDoc calculates the result (the levels of cholesterol) in your blood and displays these within the PocDoc app

After the test, you may have a small bruise where the needle went in. Bruises can be painful, but are usually harmless and fade over the next few days.
