Rockdoc’s Cold & Flu Rescue Kit: the first home testing solution for strep, flu and COVID with complete telehealth care. Tweet this Rockdoc Cold & Flu Rescue Kit is Canada’s first complete at-home testing and care solution for flu, COVID-19 and strep throat. (CNW Group/Rockdoc Consulting Inc.) The new Rockdoc Cold and flu rescue kit is the first comprehensive solution in the Canadian market that allows users to test for common respiratory diseases – Strep A, Influenza A & B and COVID-19 – from anywhere and receive instant results and comprehensive care via telehealth. The product effectively detects contagious infections that may require treatment. This is how it works:
People can get everything they need delivered to their homes in one convenient package either via nationwide overnight delivery or by DoorDash in less than two hours in select areas of Metro Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Eastern Ontario and Halifax. As part of the kit, Canadians will be able to connect virtually with a healthcare professional to guide them through every step, from sample collection and testing, interpretation of results to how to manage their illness, manage risk and return to health . Patients can choose to make a same-day follow-up appointment with a licensed physician to discuss their results and symptoms and, if indicated, receive prescriptions such as Tamiflu or antibiotics directly at their pharmacy. Patients can also choose to have their test results forwarded to their family doctor to ensure continuity of care.
“This new product is an innovative, comprehensive solution that empowers people to take charge of their health, especially for those six million Canadians without a family doctor. This gives people the information they need, which will reduce the burden on overcrowded wards emergency rooms, urgent care centers and walk-in clinics,” said Dr. Samuel Gutman, President and CEO of Rockdoc. “We are confident that this innovative solution will help reduce pressure on Canada’s health care system.” The Rockdoc Cold & Flu Rescue Kit will help all Canadians make good health decisions and prevent them from infecting others at work, school or home. Correct and early recognition of these common illnesses allows for accurate, timely treatment and reduces overprescribing of antibiotics for Strep A. In addition, influenza and COVID-19 treatments that reduce the risk of secondary infections and shorten the time of illness are effective if started on time .
