Labs & Testing
Blood panels, imaging, genetic tests, at-home kits. What a result can and can't tell you, when more testing helps, and when it mostly adds cost and worry.
How Rerouted covers a topic
Four lenses, every time.
The first explainers for this topic are being researched. Here is the frame every one of them will follow.
What exists
Standard panels your doctor orders, specialist tests, and a growing market of kits you can order yourself without seeing anyone.
Explainers in developmentWhat the evidence says
For each test: what it was validated to detect, in which people, and how often a result is a false alarm.
Explainers in developmentWhere the limits are
A test can be accurate and still not useful. If a result wouldn't change what you do next, it mostly adds cost and worry.
Questions worth asking
- What would this result change about my care?
- How often is this result wrong in someone like me?
- Who pays for it, and who profits from it?
Education, not medical, legal or insurance advice.
