This study seeks to improve access to lipid testing in out-of-surgery locations using PocDoc, a UKCA approved IVD device that measures a full 5 marker lipid panel using a smartphone or tablet. The study will investigate whether PocDoc can close the gap in people not tested by exploring 3 new out-of-surgery methods:
Lipid testing in out-of-surgery (OOS) locations using a digital lipid measuring device called PocDoc promises to increase access to lipid testing and cardiovascular disease health assessment. PocDoc lipids comprises a smartphone-compatible disposable microchip test strip which uses proprietary colorimetric microfluidic technology to accurately detect lipid biomarkers from a droplet of blood. PocDoc Lipids Professional was launched in 2022 to enable professional users to perform lipid screens as part of lifestyle or preventative healthcare screens. The investigator's hypothesise that providing easier, more cost-effective access to lipid testing at scale, without patients having to attend the GP surgery could:
The SBRI 21 Phase 3 program is funding this collaborative project in partnership with SMASH PCN and AHSN NENC with the objective of increasing access to lipid testing in those geographies.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| PocDoc testing of primary care patients | There are significant numbers of patients in primary care who should be given annual lipid checks who are not receiving them. PocDoc is a digital rapid 5-marker lipid panel that uses a smartphone as a diagnostic reader. PocDoc tests will be offered to patients overdue their annual lipid check either in surgery, in the community or in their own home. |
| |
| Pocdoc testing in the community | Providing lipid testing in community settings such as in pharmacy may offer a more attractive solution to consumers. This hypothesis will be tested by offering PocDoc lipid tests in a community setting. |
| |
| PocDoc testing in workplaces | Providing lipid testing as part of a health wellness screen in employees workplaces in may offer an attractive solution to consumers needing their lipid levels check. This hypothesis will be tested by offering PocDoc lipid tests as part of corporate wellness screens. |
