About LetsGetChecked
Going to a doctor for a routine test is often an uncomfortable experience: waiting times, travel, the embarrassment of tests involving private areas of health. LetsGetChecked built its proposition around the idea that preventive diagnostics should be accessible, discreet, and convenient, bringing the laboratory directly to the patient's home. Founded in Dublin by Peter Foley, LetsGetChecked allows users to order medical test kits โ for sexual health, hormone levels, heart health, thyroid function, and many other parameters โ collect samples at home, send them to a certified laboratory, and receive results in the app within days, with the option to speak with an online doctor to interpret them. The business model combines single kit sales with subscriptions for continuous health monitoring, an architecture that transforms an episodic need into a long-term relationship with the user. LetsGetChecked also developed a B2B division for corporate wellness programs, allowing companies to offer employees access to diagnostic testing as a benefit. In a context where preventive medicine is increasingly central to healthcare debates and system cost management, the ability to monitor one's health conveniently at home represents a meaningful paradigm shift. LetsGetChecked has demonstrated robust demand for this type of service, particularly in English-speaking markets where self-care culture is more developed.
