What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect capillary and venous blood specimens to support the development and validation of laboratory procedures. It focuses on the viability of capillary blood samples for diagnostic testing, addressing the challenges of traditional venipuncture methods that can cause patient distress. By comparing the results from capillary samples to the gold standard venous samples, the study seeks to enhance remote health monitoring and improve patient compliance. The research will also explore the stability of these samples under various conditions.
