Blood monitoring services
Missed blood tests delay prescription renewals
NHS teams face significant challenges ensuring patients complete required bloodwork before prescription renewals, leading to treatment delays and medication adherence challenges. Missed blood tests also create prescription backlogs that strain pharmacy staff and leave patients without timely access to their medication. Reminders are necessary to try to keep patients on track but managing these administrative reminders diverts valuable NHS resources from patient care.
Sciensus’ blood monitoring service proactively contacts patients in advance of when lab results are due to schedule blood tests, enabling timely prescription renewals and maintaining continuity of care. Through SMS, email and our Sciensus Intouch app, we remind patients of their blood testing requirements, reducing administrative burden on NHS staff whilst improving medication adherence and preventing prescription delays.

How Sciensus’ blood monitoring service works
Our blood monitoring service was developed in partnership with an NHS trust seeking to increase staff capacity. After experiencing multiple cases of prescription backlogs and delayed medication, a digital solution was needed to keep patients up to date with their blood testing requirements.
Proven results
By introducing SMS, in-app and emailed reminders, we increased adherence to blood testing by 30% over nine months. This addressed a national problem, leading other trusts to join our service, which is customised to precisely what is needed by each Trust.
Supporting over 30,000 patients
The service now supports more than 30,000 patients across multiple NHS trusts. Patients are engaged with the Sciensus Intouch app, receiving reminder prompts and logging when their blood tests are booked and completed for full visibility to the entire care team.
Seamless NHS integration
Blood test reminder information is shared directly with hospitals through the Sciensus Connect portal, streamlining prescribing journeys and providing transparency. This integration eliminates coordination delays and ensures all parties have real-time visibility of patient status.
