Looking for a better way to deliver OGTT?

You're not alone. Provisioning challenges for healthcare providers, when coupled with the inconvenience of the OGTT for the expectant mother, mean delayed or missed tests are common.

But here's the good news.

The introduction of a new easy-to-use home test kit from Digostics, GTT@home, has now made the OGTT truly accessible by enabling women to test remotely, outside of the clinic, for the very first time.

Mothers are empowered to take charge of their own health, and that of their baby, with reliable and accurate diabetes testing that fits around their home and work commitments.

While free of the hassle of in-clinic test administration, you can now dedicate your valuable time to the more important and rewarding aspects of your role, looking after the women in your care.

How does GTT@home work?

It's incredibly easy!

Once you have scheduled a test through the Digostics test booking and review portal, we will send out a GTT@home test kit to the expectant mother. She then watches the adjacent online video guidance in preparation and follows the detailed instructions provided in the test kit to complete her OGTT.

And that's all there is to it!

Our dedicated Customer Care team is available every day of the week to provide any assistance needed. Additionally, we proactively follow up with women who have tests at risk of becoming overdue. As soon as we receive their results, we will notify you to return to the Digostics portal to complete your expert review.

Can GTT@home be integrated with our electronic health record or maternity systems?

Simply put, yes.

The Digostics Portal is a highly accessible, cyber-secure, and user-friendly web-based software platform. Our surveys consistently show that users can effortlessly schedule tests and access final patient results without issue. However, we are not stopping there.

The Digostics Portal adheres to HL7 FHIR interoperability standards, which means that GTT@home can be integrated into all compatible related software allowing convenient test booking and result analysis from within third-party systems.

How do I introduce GTT@home for my women?

First, get in touch.

Our dedicated team will then work closely with you to map out your existing OGTT workflow, identify important stakeholders for training and create a customised implementation plan designed to help you transition to home testing at a pace that suits your needs.

Once we have an agreed way forward and all potential clinical users are documented, we will invite them to complete a 30-minute online training course. After training, users will receive their Digostics Portal login credentials, meaning they can immediately start scheduling patient tests.
