Hi, How Can We Help?
FAQS Help Topics
A TestCard is a set of test strips contained within a simple pouch. When coupled with our smartphone app it provides immediate, medical grade test results from the comfort of your own home.
Our first product is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) test. Multiple other tests are currently in development, and you can learn more about them here.
TestCard uses a set of test strips and a smartphone App to give you immediate, medical grade test results in the comfort of your own home.
The TestCard App works by combining the power of your smartphone and clinical scanning technology. It works in the same way as a test completed in a lab. Our App is actually more accurate than the human eye at seeing changes in the colours on the testing strip! You can find out more about how the test works here.

The TestCard app guides you through each step of the process. Watch our how-to video guide
Step 1 - Before you get started.
Have your TestCard test kit ready and collect your sample in a clean container. Tear open the pouch, hold the test strip at the top and use your camera to scan the QR Code.
This tells the App which type of test you’re taking.
Step 2 - Take the Test
Dip the test strip into your sample for a couple of seconds. Ensure the strip is wet above all of the squares but below the ‘max wet’ line.
Step 3 - Scan the Strip
Hold the test strip at the top and scan using the App. Align the strip to the blue guides on the screen.
Step 4 - Your result is ready!
You can choose to share your results with a healthcare professional or select treatment if available.
It’s really important to carefully read the instructions for use before you take the test.
We are always adding to the list of devices that are compatible with our TestCard app.
You can check if your phone is compatible by checking our compatible devices.
If your device isn't listed, you can add your device to our development list by completing the form. Alternatively, you can contact us via live chat or email and we will add it to our list to make it compatible in the future.
When you have a TestCard account you can go back to any of your results at any time. This is really useful when you need to share them with a doctor or another health professional. When you have an account, all of your data is securely stored in the App with a unique encryption key.
If you take the test as a guest user, your results are not saved in the App. We recommend setting up an account to allow you to benefit from features such as saving your results, tracking any treatment options you select, and giving you fast and easy access to our support team if you need it.
You can use any size and type of everyday container. Just make sure it’s clean before you use it (it doesn’t need to be sterilised).
The test will work with around 30ml. You’ll see more advice in the App as you take the test.
As long as you follow the easy, step-by-step guide in the App your results will be accurate. It’s really important to read the instructions for use carefully before you take the test.
You need to be able to hold the test strip at the top whilst you dip it into the sample. The QR code and ‘squares’ need to be intact. If any of these parts are damaged or you can’t hold the test at the top, we’d recommend using a new test strip.
Please contact us through live chat, or by using the contact support form and we’ll be able to assist you.
