Quick and easy

This kidney check was quick and easy to use. Seems like it would be relatively simple for just about anyone. Great developer.

Are you serious?

I am 82 years old. If my daughter didn’t do this for me if would have been impossible for me. I have a flip phone and I have never used a smart phone. It is clear what age I am , take this inconsideration when sending out elderly people a do it your self kit. In the event it is not done right , you have set up panic unnecessarily..

Easy-Peesy

This test was simple and easy, but the main thing is that it was so well explained!! The app makes it simple. Video and voice commands were clear and easy to follow. Great idea being able to do this at home. Thanks!!

Kidney Check

Test was very easy to use and complete. I didn’t like all the reminder phone calls I received. People were hard to understand and always came up as unknown caller on the phone. Identified themselves as being from Medica but would be better if phone number showed the call coming from Medica especially with all the senior fraud.
