How it works

Common questions

What is the drink drive safety explainer?

A band label for a figure you already have. It cannot see you and cannot diagnose.

Does this replace my GP?

No. Lab and sensitive tools stay in the browser. Take your own result to a GP or midwife.

One reading out of band?

One snapshot is not a trend. Ask the clinician who ordered the test.
