If a patient has a prosthetic heart it is important for them to get their anticoagulation levels tested on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this means a trip to the doctor, which is not only inconvenient but takes a lot out of a person who is already going through something difficult.

Fortunately, a device has been invented to allow a person to test their levels conveniently from home. Results are delivered very quickly, so the patient can keep themselves monitored by only taking a few minutes out of their day.
