For those interested in learning more about how your labs can become direct-to-consumer labs, let’s start by describing what TestDirectly is and what TestDirectly does.
TestDirectly: A Rapid, Touchless Direct-to-Consumer Lab Testing Portal That Boosts Capacity, Speeds Turnaround, and Seamlessly Integrates with Your Laboratory Information System
The TestDirectly direct-to-consumer lab testing portal is a great example that shows how quickly LigoLab can identify a pressing issue and develop a lab pathology software solution for customers interested in boosting test capacity and improving turnaround times with modern diagnostic lab software.
TestDirectly is a dynamic, web-based direct-to-consumer lab testing portal that connects patients, physicians, employers, and government agencies with collection centers and clinical laboratories for fast, safe, and easy collection, testing, and reporting.
The TestDirectly portal seamlessly integrates with laboratory information systems (LIS software). It eliminates paperwork and manual processes by replacing them with digital clinical laboratory management that removes the bottleneck at order entry and facilitates fast results (TestDirectly results time).
Patients can easily self-register at TestDirectly.com, choose a collection site, and schedule an appointment from any computer or mobile device, all within a fully digital, touchless, and paperless workflow that also supports at-home collection options.

Automated Result Delivery for Faster Patient Access and Reduced Lab Workload
When test results are ready, patients receive a secure notification prompting them to log into the TestDirectly portal and view their finalized reports. These reports are automatically delivered to the portal, eliminating the need for laboratories to (manually) follow up or distribute results.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the TestDirectly portal played a critical role in nationwide response efforts by streamlining collection, testing, and reporting. Results were automatically routed back to patients and submitted to public health agencies and state and national registries, often within 24 hours of the lab receiving the sample.
Today, TestDirectly remains a trusted, scalable direct-to-consumer lab testing solution that connects patients with laboratories, enabling faster, more personalized access to diagnostic testing.
