- Healthtech company, Advanx Health, has launched a directory page for all walk-in, drive-thru, and on-site COVID-19 screening tests.
- They will be featuring all hospitals, clinics, and private companies in Malaysia that offers real-time RT-PCR testing, which is a gold standard for COVID-19 diagnostic testing.
Petaling Jaya, 3 April 2020 – Advanx Health (Ubisana Innovations Sdn. Bhd.) has announced today that they will be launching a directory page called FindMyTest to help Malaysians find the nearest available COVID-19 tests.
FindMyTest will feature hospitals, clinics, and private healthcare companies that offer real-time RT-PCR testing, which is the gold standard for COVID-19 screening in the country. All available RT-PCR options will be featured on the website, including options for walk-in, drive-thru, or on-site (at home) testing.
Users will also be able to find information such as address of the test provider, price, results turnaround time, sample collection method, operating hours, reservation method, contact information, and more. The objective is to provide a convenient platform for the public to assess and identify the best option for them to get tested for COVID-19.
Through FindMyTest, Advanx Health also hopes to be able to increase testing capacity by directing people to the right places to get themselves tested.
Aside from the test directory, Advanx Health has also integrated a self-assessment questionnaire for the public to find out if they should get themselves tested for COVID-19 infection.
With this initiative, Advanx Health hopes to be able to help “flatten the curve” by making it more convenient for Malaysians to access testing options, which will hopefully allow more early detection of confirmed cases before the virus becomes even more widespread.
Advanx Health will be open to collaboration opportunities with other healthcare service providers as well. Relevant parties who would like to be included in the directory page may contact them at hello@advanxhealth.com for further discussion.
“One of the missions that we’ve had when we set up this company was to provide personalised health solutions and preventive care to the people. We have developed this platform primarily to provide genetic testing to the people, and we are now diverting our resources to be part of the solution that provides the right information and access to COVID-19 tests.
Yong Wei Shian, CEO and Co-founder of Advanx Health
Currently, there is a lack of a platform that can provide all the information about COVID-19 testing in Malaysia, in which we have introduced FindMyTest to solve this problem. We are aligned with the objectives of the Ministry of Health to increase COVID-19 testing capacity. We hope to play our part as a digital health startup in this battle against the pandemic. If there are any hospital, clinics or healthcare providers that are interested to be part of this platform, please do contact us. Our team is committed to help you ease the process of booking and offering COVID-19 services to the public.”
“We are in the midst of a pandemic that is affecting the lives of many. As a company, we hope to mobilize our resources to help improve the situation. The introduction of FindMyTest aims to ease the hassle for people to search for COVID-19 lab testing services. In the directory, you can find all the required information for anyone who wants to get a test done. In the event where a test provider has maxed out their capacity of conducting a test, you can then quickly find the next alternative. This will reduce the waiting time as well as the anxiety of waiting for a test to be done.
Yeo Keh Hau, Business Operation Manager and Co-Founder of Advanx Health
The information which we gathered is not exhaustive and we welcome service providers to contact us if we have missed you out in the directory. We also hope to partner with other digital health platforms to create a vibrant ecosystem to support the fight against COVID-19. We hope FindMyTest would be the One-Stop destination for people who are seeking COVID-19 lab testing services.”
